2016 AUDI A3 2.0T PREMIUM

The auction records designate this 2016 Audi A3 as “Salvage” with “Rear” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage code, based on extensive damage to the rear bumper, trunk lid, rear body panel, and tail lamp. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed and folded across its width, with both corners deeply deformed and pulled away from the body. Sections of the cover are torn away or missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement and internal mounting areas. The trunk lid is severely creased and displaced around the license-plate recess and lower edge, with large uneven gaps, including a substantial opening along the left rear edge. The metal rear panel below and around the license-plate recess is buckled and folded. The right rear tail lamp also shows moderate damage, with an irregular pale exposed area and apparent lens damage or missing lens material. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door 2016 Audi A3 sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. NHTSA records list three recalls associated with the 2016 Audi A3: campaigns 21V198000 for the front-passenger occupant detection system, 22V543000 for the front-passenger air-bag inflator module, and 24V110000 for the fuel system. The fuel-system recall is described as applying to front-wheel-drive A3 vehicles, while this VIN decodes as all-wheel drive, so applicability should be confirmed directly by VIN. Recall completion status is not provided; all applicable recall repairs should be verified with Audi before purchase.
