2017 PORSCHE MACAN

The auction record lists the vehicle as “DEALER ONLY CLEAN TITLE (P)” and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated primary-damage code; however, title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. Visible damage is concentrated at the front. The leading edge of the hood, above the center grille, has a moderate crease and localized deformation with light paint scuffing. The center and left side of the front bumper cover show cracking, deformation, scuffing, and paint damage, including a jagged damaged section around the left side of the grille opening. The central black grille also has broken and displaced sections, an irregular opening, and exposed or protruding material. The instrument cluster displays a “BRAKE WEAR” warning with the message “Change brake pads,” indicating that the brake pads require attention. A minor brown stain or discoloration is visible on the right side of the tan leather rear seat cushion. The records provided list six NHTSA safety recalls applicable to specified 2017 Macan variants. These include the front passenger occupancy-classification sensor mat (campaign 21V131000), the optional ski-bag fastening strap (18V844000), two fuel-pump or fuel-pump-flange issues that may cause fuel leakage (20V077000 and 17V289000), front anti-roll-bar connecting links (16V680000), and rear outboard seat-belt anchor screws (23V443000). Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Porsche or an authorized dealer before purchase. A physical inspection is also recommended to assess concealed front-end, structural, cooling, lighting, and safety-system damage, as well as the braking system and the condition of the interior stain.
