2024 AUDI Q8 E-TRON

The vehicle is a 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron electric SUV, VIN WA16ABGE8RB021078. NHTSA data identifies it as a battery-electric vehicle manufactured by Audi AG in Brussels, Belgium, with a combined system rating of 402 hp. The decoded trim is listed as Prestige / Prestige with Launch Edition Package. Standard safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-centering and lane-keeping systems, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, and parking assistance. The auction record lists a salvage certificate and “rear end” as the primary damage. These are unverified auction claims. Stage 1 reports that the provided photos do not visibly support the rear-end damage claim: the rear exterior appears intact, with no clearly visible collision damage. The salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. No additional damage findings were provided. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly for concealed structural, electrical, battery, and mechanical issues. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this specific model year. Recall 24V428000 concerns a brake-line connection that may have been over-tightened and could fail, causing a brake-fluid leak and reduced braking ability. The remedy is for an Audi dealer to inspect and replace the brake-pressure line as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with Audi before purchase.
