2019 AUDI Q8 55 PREMIUM

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a clear condition and identifies “Front End” as the primary damage. These are unverified auction classifications. Stage 1’s photo review found no obvious front-end collision damage; instead, the visible evidence consists of minor cosmetic scuff marks on the rear liftgate. Accordingly, Stage 1 determined that the “Front End” damage code is not supported by the visible evidence. Three minor surface scuffs are reported on the gray rear liftgate: an irregular white mark below the left taillight, an irregular light-colored mark below the right taillight, and a light-colored scraped-looking mark farther toward the right side. No other damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Audi Q8 Premium SUV 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. The following NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year: - Recall 19V114000: Front shock absorber forks may crack, potentially allowing the shock absorbers to loosen and impair steering. Audi’s stated remedy is replacement of the shock absorber forks. - Recall 20V149000: The steering-shaft-to-steering-gear bolt may loosen, potentially causing a loss of steering control. The stated remedy is inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the bolt. - Recall 22V516000: A fuel-pump component may break and cause fuel-pump failure, possibly resulting in engine stalling. The stated remedy is fuel-pump replacement. - Recall 25V900000: A software error may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying correctly. The stated remedy is a software update. - Recall 26V125000: On vehicles previously repaired under recall 25V900000, a software error may deactivate the lane-departure warning system. The stated remedy is another software update. Recall completion status was not provided and should be verified with an Audi dealer using the VIN before purchase. A physical inspection and mechanical evaluation are also recommended, particularly because the auction’s front-end damage designation is not supported by the reported visible evidence.
