2015 AUDI A3 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2015 Audi A3 as having a salvage title with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation and scraping at the left rear quarter panel and rear bumper corner support the rear-end damage claim, although the photographs do not establish the complete extent of the damage. The documented damage is concentrated on the left rear side. The quarter panel around the wheel arch has moderate deformation, multiple creases, abrasion marks, and areas of transferred or missing paint. The left rear bumper corner and adjacent lower area have extensive dark scuffing and brownish paint or dirt transfer, with moderate surface abrasion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 Audi A3 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2015 Audi A3. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-classification system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag 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. The latter recall is specified for certain front-wheel-drive A3 vehicles, so its applicability to this all-wheel-drive vehicle should be verified by VIN. Recall completion status is not provided. A full inspection should confirm the extent of the rear damage, including any affected structural, suspension, wheel-arch, lighting, or safety-system components.
