2019 AUDI Q7

The auction record lists this 2019 Audi Q7 with a Salvage Certificate and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” damage code, while the Salvage Certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front bumper cover is severely damaged, with multiple open areas, missing lower-corner trim and inserts, and loose or detached pieces at both lower corners. Internal areas are exposed. The center and lower grille/intake also have displaced, broken, or missing trim. Scraping and scuffing are visible on the lower bumper. A wide, uneven gap is present between the hood and the grille/front fascia, and the hood does not sit flush with the surrounding body panels. Inside the vehicle, the driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging from the steering wheel. The driver’s lower seat cushion upholstery is extensively torn, exposing light-colored foam or padding. The instrument cluster displays “Safety system: malfunction! See owner’s manual,” with multiple warning indicators illuminated. The airbag system, pretensioners, steering components, front-end structure, sensors, wiring, and related safety systems should be professionally inspected and repaired before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The full extent of hidden mechanical or structural damage cannot be determined from these findings. VIN data identifies the vehicle as a Slovakia-built 2019 Audi Q7 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes three seating rows and seating for seven, although the available data does not provide a complete option list. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to this model and year: front shock absorber forks that may crack and allow the shock absorber to loosen; insufficient C-pillar padding; a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and cause loss of steering control; and side-curtain airbags that may not properly inflate. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Audi using the VIN.
