2015 AUDI A3 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “BILL OF SALE” and the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation at the left front fender and adjacent bumper corner supports the unverified FRONT END damage claim. The BILL OF SALE condition statement cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The main visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender has a pronounced dent and crease above and behind the front wheel, with irregular panel contours and disrupted paint. The fender edge and adjoining left front bumper corner are also visibly deformed. The headlamp remains present. Light linear scuffing is visible on the left front bumper corner. Additional minor cosmetic marks are visible on the left rear quarter panel and rear bumper area, including several light linear marks ahead of the left rear lamp and superficial scuffing and discoloration across portions of the rear bumper cover. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Audi S3 sedan rather than an A3, with all-wheel drive, a 1.98-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and production in Hungary. The supplied vehicle description identifies it as an Audi A3, so the model designation should be confirmed against the vehicle and title documentation. Two recall records were provided. Recall 21V198000 concerns the passenger occupant detection system, which may deactivate the front passenger airbag when the seat is occupied; the remedy is replacement of the sensor mat and an update to the control module. Recall 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction jet pump seal and is described for front-wheel-drive Audi A3 models; because the VIN decode identifies an all-wheel-drive S3, applicability to this vehicle should be confirmed with Audi. Recall completion status is not provided. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the fender and bumper mounting points, adjacent structure, lighting, wheel-area components, and any damage not visible in the exterior images.
