2017 AUDI A4 Premium, Ultra Premium

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TTL-REBUILT&SLVG RBLD” status with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage classification; however, the rebuilt or salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe front-end collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with sharp creases and folded metal across most of its front and center sections. The front bumper cover, grille, central trim, and one headlamp assembly are missing, exposing internal components and mounting areas. The front fender and wheel-arch area are torn and folded, and the front door’s leading edge and adjacent corner panel are distorted with an enlarged, irregular panel gap. The upper front support and crossmember show visible bending and crushing. The radiator, condenser, and other front cooling components are exposed and displaced, with damage to the surrounding mounting areas. These findings indicate that the vehicle will require substantial structural, body, cooling-system, lighting, and front-end component repairs. The extent of any damage not visible in the provided findings, including possible effects on mechanical, electrical, suspension, or alignment systems, remains to be determined by physical inspection. The driver airbag, front passenger airbag, and side curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The restraint-system components, related sensors, wiring, and occupant-detection systems should be professionally inspected and may require replacement or recalibration. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi A4 sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and an automatic transmission. The VIN decodes cleanly, with the check digit verified. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle range: recall 21V874000 concerns a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. The fault may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger airbag. The stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge through an Audi dealer. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with an authorized Audi dealer before purchase or operation.
