2017 AUDI A3 Premium

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. The visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are missing, leaving lower front components and parts of the engine compartment exposed. Both front headlamp positions are empty, and detached bumper, grille, and headlamp components are shown beside the vehicle. The leading edge and front corners of the hood have localized deformation. The visible front fender has a broad inward dent and creasing around the wheel arch and headlamp area. Inside, the driver’s seat outer bolster shows creasing and surface wear without visible tearing. The instrument cluster displays an engine warning light, tire-pressure warning light, seat-belt indicator, and general warning triangle. The meanings and causes of these warnings require diagnostic testing. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi A3 Premium sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, rear visibility equipment, and Audi pre sense basic. Two NHTSA 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. Recall applicability, completion, and any outstanding remedy should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, including the front structural and cooling areas, lighting and restraint systems, wiring, engine-management system, fuel system, and alignment.
