2020 AUDI A3 Premium

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible localized deformation on the right rear side supports the “SIDE” damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented damage is moderate deformation to the right rear quarter panel and the front edge of the right rear wheel arch. The area shows localized denting and creasing, with an irregular dark gap at the junction of the lower rear door and wheel arch. The available findings do not describe any other damage or mechanical condition. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Audi A3 Premium sedan, manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. Three NHTSA recall campaigns are listed for the 2020 Audi A3. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag when the seat is occupied; the remedy is replacement of the sensor mat and an update to the control module. Recall 22V815000 concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system and requires a software update. Recall 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal on certain front-wheel-drive A3 sedans; because this vehicle decodes as all-wheel drive, applicability of that recall should be verified by VIN. Recall completion status is not provided.
