2015 AUDI A3 Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” with primary damage classified as “VANDALISM.” However, the photo-based assessment did not visibly substantiate vandalism or a severe rebuildable-loss condition. The visible issues were mainly limited to missing lower front bumper inserts, front bumper scuffing, and heavily torn or worn interior upholstery. The lower grille inserts are missing from both corners of the front bumper, leaving open rectangular areas. The lower bumper corners and lip also show multiple dark scuff marks and paint abrasion. These findings indicate moderate bumper-related damage, with additional minor cosmetic scuffing. The light-colored leather on both front seat cushions is extensively cracked and torn. Each cushion has a large irregular opening with dark material visible beneath, and the driver’s seat also has additional damage extending into the side bolster. The steering-wheel rim covering is worn and peeling in several areas, exposing darker underlying material. These interior defects are moderate cosmetic concerns and may require upholstery repair or replacement. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Audi A3 sedan with a 1.798-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and Premium trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. The decoded information does not specify the drivetrain. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger air bag when the seat is occupied. 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, creating a fire risk. Completion of both recall remedies should be verified with Audi before purchase.
