2013 AUDI Q7 S Line Prestige

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and identifies hail as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the hood and rear liftgate appear largely smooth without a dense pattern of small shallow dents, and the partially visible roof does not show a clear hail-dent pattern. The certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available vehicle images. The most significant observed damage is the missing glass in the rear liftgate window. The opening is empty, with broken glass fragments or residue visible around the perimeter and along the lower edge. Replacement glass and a check of the liftgate, surrounding trim, interior, defroster, wiper, and related wiring will be required. A lower grille or trim section is missing from the left side of the front bumper, as viewed from the front. Inner components are visible through the opening, and adjacent lower bumper trim also appears incomplete. The left front headlamp lens is visibly yellowed and cloudy compared with the opposite lamp. Inside the vehicle, the outer bolster of the front driver’s leather seat shows creasing and surface wear. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Audi Q7 S line Prestige SUV, built by Audi AG in Slovakia. It is equipped with a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine with a 2.995-liter displacement. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. NHTSA recall information includes recall 17V298000 for certain gasoline-powered 2013–2017 Audi Q7 vehicles. The fuel-pump flange may crack and allow a fuel leak; completion of the repair should be verified. Recall 23V086000 concerns the incorrect rear gross axle weight rating label on certain 2009–2015 Q7 vehicles and should also be checked. Recall 14V516000 applies specifically to 2013 Q7 vehicles equipped with the 3.0L TDI engine; the decoded vehicle is listed as gasoline-powered, so applicability should be confirmed by an Audi dealer using the VIN. A complete mechanical, electrical, glass, body, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase.
