2018 AUDI A4 Premium

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification through extensive damage to the left front side and doors, while also showing severe front-end damage. A salvage title itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left headlamp is missing, and the bumper cover, grille, and lower front fascia are torn, broken, or missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The front-left fender is extensively crushed and torn, with exposed wheel-area components. The left front edge of the hood is creased, buckled, and torn. Body and fascia components are also missing around the front-left engine-bay perimeter. The front-left exterior mirror is absent or broken away. The front-left door has deep dents, extensive deformation, and heavy paint scraping, while the rear-left door has horizontal dents and substantial scraping. Additional broad scrape marks and deformation are visible along the left-side body panels. The front-left tire is severely torn, with missing rubber around the sidewall and tread. The front-left wheel well is open and damaged, exposing suspension-area components, wiring, and other parts. These areas require detailed physical inspection to assess the condition of the wheel, suspension, steering, braking system, wiring, and structural components before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The instrument cluster displays an Audi pre sense limited message along with multiple warning indicators, including restraint-system and tire-pressure symbols. The underlying causes and the condition of the restraint systems cannot be determined from the provided findings alone. An applicable NHTSA recall, campaign 21V874000, affects certain 2017–2020 Audi A4 vehicles. A contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System may cause the software to disable the passenger air bag. Audi’s stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number and service records before purchase.
