2015 AUDI A3 quattro Premium Plus

This 2015 Audi A3 is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” The visible extensive front-end collision damage supports that damage classification; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe damage. The hood is heavily buckled across the front and left side, with an uneven gap above the grille and left headlamp. The front-left fender is crushed and torn around the wheel arch, with body and trim components displaced or exposed. The front bumper cover is broken into separate sections and detached, with parts hanging below the vehicle and additional pieces on the ground. The front-left headlamp and surrounding trim are broken or missing, exposing internal components. The front bumper and adjacent trim are also absent from view in one inspection image, leaving the radiator and other front-end components exposed. The windshield has a severe impact point with multiple branching cracks across the upper center-left area. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the side-curtain airbags are deployed along both roof-side areas above the rear seating area. These findings indicate that the vehicle requires substantial body, glass, restraint-system, and likely front-end repair. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, steering, suspension, drivetrain, or underlying structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan would be required before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door Audi A3 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA recall records were provided. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front-passenger occupant-classification 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 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal and the potential for fuel to enter the evaporative-emissions system and leak from the charcoal canister. The supplied recall description specifies front-wheel-drive A3 vehicles for this campaign, while this VIN decodes as all-wheel drive, so applicability should be confirmed directly with Audi using the VIN. Any open recall repairs should be completed before the vehicle is returned to service.
