2015 AUDI A3 2.0T PREMIUM

This 2015 Audi A3 is recorded with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage classification of hail. However, the Stage 1 photo review reports that the visible roof, hood, and trunk/decklid surfaces appear largely smooth, without the concentrated pattern of numerous shallow dents expected from hail; the photos therefore contradict the auction’s hail-damage claim. The only visible damage finding is minor cosmetic surface scuffing on the central upper section of the rear bumper cover. Several light horizontal and vertical marks are visible across the black paint. No other damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary, with all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The trim is listed as quattro Premium Plus. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model range. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger air bag when the seat is occupied; the remedy involves replacing the sensor mat and updating the control module. Recall 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal and applies to certain front-wheel-drive A3 vehicles. Because this vehicle decodes as all-wheel drive, the applicability of that recall should be confirmed by VIN with Audi. Recall completion status was not provided.
