Damage overview

This black Tiguan is missing its front bumper cover and upper grille. A bumper cover that appears to be this car's is shown lying on the ground in photo 10, which leaves the radiator, condenser and bumper reinforcement exposed, with loose parts hanging at the right front. The hood and headlights look largely intact, and the sides and rear look clean. The damage appears to be concentrated at the front and looks moderate. The interior looks intact, but the driver floor mat is dirty.

The recorded front-end damage is visible: the bumper cover and grille are off and the front structure is exposed in photos 1 and 4, and the removed cover appears in photo 10. The cluster in photo 8 reads 80,942 miles, which matches the recorded odometer.

What a buyer or inspector should check

Check the radiator, condenser and their mounts behind the missing bumper cover for bends or leaks (photo 4).
Check the bumper reinforcement, crash absorbers and front rail tips for deformation (photo 4).
Identify the loose pieces hanging at the front corners and check the fender liners and splash shields (photos 1 and 4).
Check the removed bumper cover's mounting tabs, brackets and fit before reusing it (photo 10).
Scan the vehicle for fault codes behind the warning lights lit in photo 8.
Check the title and vehicle history report for prior claims and title brand.
