2016 AUDI A3

The vehicle is a 2016 Audi A3 Sedan with a salvage certificate. The auction lists the primary damage as “undercarriage.” However, Stage 1 reports that undercarriage damage cannot be confirmed from the available photos and that a physical inspection is required. The visible damage consists of minor cosmetic wear. Several light abrasion and scuff marks are present on the upper surface of the front passenger seat cushion. A small, irregular, light-colored scuffed area is also visible on the lower right section of the black rear bumper. No other findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. NHTSA records list three recalls relevant to 2016 Audi A3 vehicles: the front-passenger occupant classification system, the front-passenger air-bag inflator module, and a fuel-system suction-jet-pump seal. The fuel-system recall is described for front-wheel-drive A3 sedans, so applicability to this all-wheel-drive vehicle should be confirmed by VIN. Recall completion status is not provided; verify all recall repairs with an Audi dealer before purchase. Due to the salvage designation and the unconfirmed undercarriage claim, a comprehensive inspection of the underbody, suspension, drivetrain, structural components, and safety systems is recommended.
