2021 AUDI Q7 quattro Prestige

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with SIDE recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible side-body damage supports the SIDE classification, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The documented damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door has a broad, irregular dent with multiple creases, scuff marks, and areas of paint disturbance across the lower and middle sections. The left rear door has several dents, creases, and horizontal scuff marks along its lower section. The lower side molding or rocker-cover section is missing along the damaged side, leaving mounting holes and unfinished panel edges exposed. These findings are classified as moderate collision damage. Inspection should confirm the condition of the door structures, hinges, latches, side-impact components, rocker area, and any wiring or trim behind the affected panels. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi Q7 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder 55 TFSI engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and mild-hybrid electrification. The vehicle was built by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. NHTSA records list several recalls for this vehicle: rear-seat-belt automatic-locking-retractor operation, rear-axle alignment following an earlier repair, front-door crash-sensor electrical connectors, rear-axle trailing-arm lock nuts, passenger air-bag control-module software, the fuel pump, rearview-camera display software, instrument-panel display software, and a later rearview-camera sensing-system software issue. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase, particularly for the front-door crash-sensor recall given the documented damage to both left-side doors.
