2014 AUDI S7

Auction records list the vehicle as having a reconstructed salvage certificate, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification because the left rear quarter panel and adjacent rear bumper are severely damaged. The reconstructed certificate status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The most significant visible damage is at the left rear. The quarter panel is deeply crushed and creased around the wheel arch, with wrinkled metal, deformed panel edges, and additional deformation along the lower rear side. The left rear bumper corner has scuffed and scraped paint, with an uneven gap where it meets the quarter panel. Proper inspection should include the wheel-arch structure, suspension, wheel alignment, rear body structure, and related components. The front underside and lower bumper area also show damage. A large underbody splash shield is detached and severely torn, with multiple ragged openings and damaged edges. A lower grille insert was found detached beside it. Another section of the lower front bumper trim or grille is missing, leaving internal components visible. The lower bumper and lip have extensive abrasion, scuffing, and an irregular damaged edge. The VIN decodes as a 2014 Audi S7 sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, an approximately 4.0-liter gasoline V8 engine, and an automatic transmission. NHTSA records list four safety recalls for this model and year: campaign 18V370000 concerns a possible malfunction of the front passenger occupant-detection system; campaign 18V096000 concerns an incorrect tire-information label; campaign 13V450000 concerns a potential fuel-line leak on vehicles equipped with the 4.0-liter engine; and campaign 22V178000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply strainer that may become blocked. The buyer should confirm recall completion with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
