2021 AUDI Q8

The auction record designates this 2021 Audi Q8 as salvage, with “Right Side” listed as the primary damage. These are auction classifications and are not independently established findings. The photo-review verdict states that the photos do not support the “Right Side” damage code: the visible right side appears intact apart from a small surface scuff. Visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic issues. A small dark surface scuff is present on the lower-middle area of the right-front door; no clear dent or deformation is visible. In the engine compartment, an irregular broad area of peeling or discolored coating is visible on the left-side plastic cover. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi Q8 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2021 Audi Q8. These include recalls involving the rear middle-seat-belt retractor, rear-axle alignment and trailing-arm lock nuts, the fuel pump, rearview-camera display software, instrument-cluster software, and a later rearview-camera sensing-system software issue. The reported remedies generally involve inspection, replacement, alignment, or software updates, as applicable. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
