2019 AUDI Q7

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END claim through substantial damage to the front bumper, grille, hood, and reinforcement. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2019 Audi Q7 has severe collision damage concentrated at the front end. The front bumper assembly and fascia are missing, including the grille surround and lower front trim. The front cooling assemblies, brackets, wiring, and other internal components are exposed. The metal front bumper reinforcement is visibly bowed, and several grille components are broken, displaced, or absent. Detached front-end plastic and trim pieces are also visible beside the vehicle. The hood has a raised, uneven front edge with a pronounced crease. In addition, the driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and curtain airbags are hanging from the roof lining along both sides of the passenger compartment. Replacement of the deployed restraint components and inspection of the related sensors, wiring, roof trim, and occupant-protection systems will be required. The visible findings do not establish the condition of less accessible mechanical, electrical, suspension, cooling, or structural components, so a comprehensive physical inspection is strongly recommended before purchase. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Audi Q7 sport utility vehicle built in Bratislava, Slovakia. It is equipped with a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The decoded data lists seating for seven and 19-inch wheels. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to this make, model, and year: a possible front shock absorber fork crack that could allow the shock absorber to loosen; insufficient C-pillar impact padding; a steering-shaft bolt that could loosen and cause loss of steering control; and side-curtain airbags that may not properly inflate in a crash. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
