2013 AUDI A3 Premium

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, with the auction’s primary damage classification recorded as FRONT END. The provided photo assessment supports visible front-end damage, including broken headlamps, adjacent hood-edge deformation, and front bumper scuffing. However, the full extent of the auction’s FRONT END classification cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. Both front headlamp assemblies are moderately damaged. A substantial portion of the outer lens or housing is missing on each side, leaving internal components exposed. The hood edge above one damaged headlamp appears raised and uneven compared with the surrounding hood and fender lines. The front bumper has light-colored abrasions and dark scuff marks near the damaged headlamps, including multiple superficial marks on the opposite side. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Audi A3 wagon, manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 1.968-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine rated at 140 horsepower and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim is Premium. The VIN decode does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA records show three driver-side frontal air-bag inflator recalls applying to this vehicle or vehicle group: campaigns 16V079000, 18V082000, and 19V862000. These recalls concern the possibility of inflator rupture or explosion during deployment, which could send metal fragments into the passenger compartment. The listed remedies involve replacement of the driver’s air-bag inflator by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase or use. A complete inspection should be performed to assess the headlamp assemblies, hood alignment, bumper structure, mounting points, wiring, safety systems, and any damage not visible in the provided exterior images.
