2019 AUDI Q7

The auction record identifies this 2019 Audi Q7 as a salvage-title vehicle with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover is severely cracked and partially detached across the lower front, with sections hanging below the vehicle and one detached section resting on the ground. Lower bumper trim and inserts are missing at both visible corners, leaving large open cavities. The bumper corners and lower edge also show cracking, tearing, abrasion, and exposed underlying areas. The center and lower grille areas have broken or separated sections, irregular gaps, and displaced trim. The hood has multiple creases and uneven raised areas, particularly near its leading edge. Both the driver and passenger front airbags are visibly deployed: the driver airbag is hanging from the steering wheel, and a white airbag fabric bundle is deployed from the passenger-side dashboard. Additional restraint-system and structural damage should be assessed through a complete physical inspection before repair or operation. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Audi Q7 Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia and is identified as a left-hand-drive, seven-seat vehicle. NHTSA records list four recalls for this model and year: a front shock absorber fork cracking issue that may allow the shock absorber to loosen; inadequate C-pillar padding; a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and result in loss of steering control; and side-curtain airbags that may not properly inflate. The applicable recall repairs should be verified with Audi, including whether they have been completed.
