2016 PORSCHE CAYENNE

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The provided Stage 1 assessment states that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left corner has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover is missing from the left side, with detached bumper and lower-fascia sections hanging below the vehicle and internal components exposed. The front-left fender is heavily creased, folded, and torn around the wheel arch, with open gaps and exposed components. The hood is distorted and raised along its front-left edge, and the area around the front-left headlamp has large missing or displaced panels. A long section of lower bumper or underbody trim is also detached and hanging downward. The driver airbag and driver knee airbag are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays the message, “PSM failure Visit workshop Drive on pass. at suitable speed.” This Porsche Stability Management warning is a concern requiring diagnostic inspection; the available findings do not establish its underlying cause or identify a failed component. Light scuffing and discoloration are also visible on the hood and bumper surfaces. The available recall records list two campaigns for 2016 Porsche Cayenne vehicles. Recall 16V169000 concerns a potentially missing circlip on the brake-pedal pivot pin, which could allow the brake pedal to dislodge and result in loss of braking ability; the stated remedy is inspection and installation of a missing circlip if necessary. Recall 22V656000 concerns missing low-beam headlight adjustment-screw caps, which may allow improper headlight adjustment; the stated remedy is inspection and installation of the caps as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN and with Porsche before purchase. Overall, the findings indicate substantial front-left collision damage with deployed airbags, exposed front-end components, and an active PSM warning. A complete structural, mechanical, restraint-system, diagnostic, and safety inspection is recommended before repair or registration.
