2018 AUDI Q7 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a **PUBLIC – SALVAGE TITLE**, with **SIDE** recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible right-rear quarter-panel deformation supports the stated SIDE damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Visible damage includes severe deformation of the right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area, with sharp creases extending toward the rear lamp. Scuffing and light paint abrasion are present on the right rear bumper, lower quarter area, and rear bumper surface. The driver-side and rear side curtain airbags are deployed, with inflated fabric hanging from the roof and upper side-window areas. The instrument cluster displays ABS, airbag, steering-system, traction-control, and other warning indicators. The extent of structural, suspension, wheel, steering, restraint-system, and mechanical damage requires a complete physical inspection and diagnostic assessment. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Audi Q7 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia and is configured with three rows and seven seats. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model year: fuel-rail leakage that may increase fire risk (campaign 19V035000), C-pillar padding that may provide insufficient impact protection (20V658000), and a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and potentially cause loss of steering control (20V149000). Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided and should be verified with Audi using the VIN.
