2017 AUDI A3 2.0T PREMIUM

This 2017 Audi A3 is listed with an unverified auction condition of “Salvage” and a primary-damage code of “Right Side.” The visible front-right collision damage supports the auction’s “Right Side” damage classification. However, the photographs cannot independently confirm the “Salvage” designation as an administrative or legal title status. The most significant damage is concentrated at the right front corner. The right front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving the opening and internal components exposed. The right side of the front bumper cover is missing or torn away, with broken plastic sections hanging below the front end. The right front fender is severely creased and deformed around the wheel opening and front corner. The front grille and lower grille are displaced and broken, with separated and distorted slats. Missing exterior panels expose the front-corner structure, brackets, wiring, and other internal components. Electrical wiring and connectors are visibly hanging below the damaged bumper area. The right front edge of the hood is raised, with an uneven gap relative to the grille and right front corner. A detached black exterior trim component is shown separately from the vehicle, although its original mounting location cannot be determined from the available findings. Additional cosmetic damage includes abrasion and finish loss on the outer lip and spokes of the right front alloy wheel. Light horizontal scuffing is present on the right front and rear doors, and the right rocker panel and side skirt have light scratches and abrasion marks. According to the VIN decoding, this is a four-door A3 sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and quattro all-wheel drive. The decoded trim is Premium Plus, and the vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA recall records are provided for this model and year. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag when the seat is occupied; the stated remedy is replacement of the sensor mat and an update to the control module. Recall 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal that may allow fuel to enter the evaporative-emissions system and potentially leak from the charcoal canister; the stated remedy is replacement of the suction pump. This second recall is described as applying to front-wheel-drive A3 vehicles, whereas this vehicle is decoded as all-wheel drive, so applicability should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN. Recall completion status is not provided.
