2015 AUDI A3 Premium

The auction records list the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and identify the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end primary-damage claim because damage is visible in the front bumper and lower grille area. The documented damage is concentrated at the front bumper and grille. The vehicle-left outer section of the lower intake has broken or missing black trim, with an irregular opening, uneven edges, and exposed area behind the trim. The front lower grille/bumper area also has incomplete trim and an irregular opening. Both findings are classified as moderate collision damage. No other damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Audi A3 Premium sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. It is equipped with a 1.798-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and an automatic transmission. The decoded VIN is reported as valid. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle: recall 21V198000 concerns the 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 that may allow fuel to enter the EVAP system and potentially leak from the charcoal canister; the remedy involves replacing the suction pump. The completion status of these recalls should be confirmed with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
