2018 AUDI A3

The vehicle is a 2018 Audi A3 Sedan with a salvage certificate. The auction lists “front end” as the primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the front exterior panels, grille, headlights, and bumper appeared intact in the provided photos, with no unambiguous front-end collision damage visible. No additional damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a gasoline-powered 2.0-liter, four-cylinder Audi engine with an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Győr, Hungary. The decoded data identifies the trim as Premium/Komfort (Canada); drivetrain information was not provided. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 21V198000 concerns the front passenger occupant-detection 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, creating a fire risk; this recall applies to specified front-wheel-drive vehicles. Repair completion should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN, as recall status and prior repairs were not provided.
