2015 AUDI A3 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is recorded as a 2015 Audi A3 Sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The VIN decode identifies Audi AG as the manufacturer and Hungary as the production country. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Salvage Certificate, with FRONT END as the primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage to the hood, front bumper, grille, headlamp area, and front corners supports the stated FRONT END classification. However, the Salvage Certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The hood is heavily buckled, with deep creases, crushed sections, and raised deformations across the left and centre-front areas. Much of the front bumper cover and lower fascia is missing or detached, leaving internal components exposed. The left front headlamp assembly is absent, with wiring, brackets, and mounting material visible. Both front corners show substantial deformation, particularly the left front fender and bumper area, which have crushed and torn bodywork, exposed components, and missing trim. The grille and surrounding trim are displaced, broken, and partially separated. Multiple cracks are visible across the windshield, mainly in the upper and central areas. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag has deployed and is hanging from the wheel. The photographs do not establish the condition of the underlying chassis, cooling system, suspension, steering, drivetrain, electrical systems, or other concealed components. A comprehensive inspection will be required to determine the full repair scope and whether the vehicle is mechanically roadworthy. Two NHTSA recall records were provided. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front-passenger occupant detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag when the seat is occupied; the stated 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 is described as applying to front-wheel-drive Audi A3 vehicles. Because this vehicle is decoded as all-wheel drive, the applicability of that recall should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN. Recall completion status for both campaigns is not provided.
