2016 AUDI A3

This 2016 Audi A3 is listed in the auction records as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” status, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. The visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated at the image-left front corner. The hood is severely deformed, with a large raised and sharply creased section, scraped paint, and a lifted leading edge. The adjacent front fender is crushed and torn around the headlamp and wheel-arch area, with displaced panel edges. The headlamp assembly is severely broken, with the lens and internal components visibly damaged or absent. The front bumper cover is severely torn, detached, and incomplete, with sections hanging below the front end. The lower front fascia and air-intake area have broken or missing sections, exposing components in the radiator area. The grille is moderately damaged and displaced, with missing or separated trim and exposed components behind it. The bumper and wheel-arch liner are also separated from the body and protrude from the damaged corner. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2016 Audi A3 sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, an automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The provided recall information lists three campaigns for this model year: 21V198000 concerning the front passenger occupant-classification system, 22V543000 concerning the front passenger air-bag inflator module, and 24V110000 concerning the fuel system. The latter recall description specifies front-wheel-drive vehicles, while this VIN decodes as all-wheel drive; applicability and completion of all recalls should therefore be verified with Audi using the VIN. Recall repairs are listed as free of charge by the manufacturer.
