2013 AUDI Q7 S Line Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a rebuilt-salvage certificate of title, with the auction’s primary damage described as “minor dent/scratches.” Stage 1 reported that the visible evidence shows minor surface scuffs and scratches but no clearly visible dent. The cracked right rear taillight and illuminated dashboard warnings are not fully consistent with a primary-damage description limited to minor dents and scratches. The rebuilt-salvage status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. Visible exterior damage includes an irregular crack or break in the outer portion of the right rear taillight lens. Dark abrasion and light scuffing are present on the front lower bumper and lower lip, and additional light scuff marks are visible across the lower rear bumper. Both front headlight lenses appear hazy and discolored. The front driver’s seat has pronounced wrinkling, discoloration, and surface wear on the black center insert. The instrument cluster shows an engine-shaped warning indicator, tire-pressure warning, traction-control warning, and seat-belt warning. The center display also reads “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF.” These warnings should be diagnosed before purchase, and the vehicle should not be assumed roadworthy without a complete mechanical and safety inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 Audi Q7 SUV with the 3.0T gasoline V6 engine, approximately 2.995 liters and six cylinders. It is identified as an S line Prestige trim vehicle manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. The decode lists indirect tire-pressure monitoring and front and side airbags for the first row, with curtain airbags for the first and second rows. NHTSA records list recall 17V298000 for certain 2013–2017 gasoline-powered Audi Q7 vehicles. The fuel-pump flange may crack and leak fuel; owners should verify whether the recall repair was completed. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating label on certain 2009–2015 Q7 vehicles, with a label replacement remedy. A separate 2014 recall, 14V516000, applies to certain 2013 Q7 vehicles equipped with the 3.0L TDI engine; the decoded vehicle is listed as gasoline-powered, but recall applicability should still be confirmed using the VIN with Audi.
