2015 AUDI A3 Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this vehicle as a salvage vehicle with more than 75% damage and lists rollover as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the photos support severe visible collision damage to the front end, left side, windshield, and airbags; however, rollover-specific roof damage or widespread all-over structural damage is not clearly visible, so the rollover and greater-than-75%-damage claims cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The recorded damage is extensive. The left-front engine-bay perimeter, hood, fender, and wheel-arch area are severely crushed or deformed, with exposed components and torn metal. The left headlamp is missing, and the front bumper is detached with broken or missing lower sections. The left front door is deeply dented and creased, while the left side mirror is broken and hanging from its mount. The right front door has a shallower dent and surface scuffing. The windshield is extensively cracked and shattered. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, driver knee airbag, and a side-curtain airbag along the driver-side roof and window area. The front passenger seat cushion also has abrasion, torn upholstery, exposed lighter-colored material, and loose debris. These findings indicate that the vehicle requires comprehensive collision repair and restraint-system inspection, including evaluation of the body structure, front-end components, steering and suspension areas, wiring, sensors, seat belts, and all deployed-airbag components. Roadworthiness and repairability cannot be determined from these findings alone. The VIN decodes through NHTSA as a 2015 Audi S3 sedan, although the vehicle was provided as a 2015 Audi A3. The decoded specifications identify all-wheel drive, a 1.98-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and Hungarian manufacture. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-classification system on certain 2015 Audi S3 and A3 vehicles. The passenger airbag may be switched off while the seat is occupied; the remedy involves replacement of the sensor mat and an update to the control module. Recall 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal on specified front-wheel-drive Audi A3 vehicles and does not identify the S3 or all-wheel-drive configuration in the provided recall description. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase.
