2009 AUDI Q7 S Line TDI

The auction record identifies this 2009 Audi Q7 as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” status with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive damage to the front grille, bumper, and adjacent front components. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be verified from the available images. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The front grille has multiple broken and displaced bars, open gaps, and missing sections. The Audi four-ring emblem assembly and a black grille insert are detached and shown separately. The bumper cover is separated below and beside the left headlamp, with a loose lower section. Both lower bumper openings have broken or missing grille and trim components, exposing internal parts, and a long lower bumper section is hanging below its normal position. The center leading edge of the hood is raised and irregular, indicating deformation near the grille area. Both headlamp lenses show surface clouding or oxidation. Additional exterior damage includes minor scuffs and paint discoloration on the right-side doors and lower side molding, as well as scratches and scuffing on the left front door and rocker area. The lower edge of the left front door has an irregular, crease-like deformation. The rear bumper also has light scuffing. The interior shows normal age-related cosmetic wear, including creasing and discoloration on the outer bolster of the front driver’s seat and wear on the center armrest and steering-wheel covering. The VIN decodes as a 2009 Audi Q7 S line TDI SUV, manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. The vehicle is listed with a 2.967-liter six-cylinder diesel engine and a decoded output of 225 horsepower. The available decode does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. NHTSA records provided for this model and year include recall campaigns 16V660000 and 18V818000 concerning the fuel-pump flange and potential fuel leakage; both campaigns specifically describe vehicles equipped with gasoline engines, while this VIN decodes as diesel, so applicability should be confirmed directly with Audi. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label for certain 2009–2015 Q7 vehicles; the VIN-specific completion status should also be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer. A pre-purchase inspection should focus particularly on the front structure, bumper and grille mounting points, exposed components, hood alignment, lighting operation, cooling system, and any damage behind the visible front-end components.
