2021 AUDI A4 quattro Premium

This 2021 Audi A4 is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this unverified classification: the clearest damage is concentrated on the left-side front fender, front door, and rear quarter panel, while the front bumper, grille, and headlights appear substantially intact. The most significant damage is on the left side. The rear edge of the left front fender, beside the A-pillar and front door, is severely folded and sharply creased, with an irregular panel gap and exposed inner panel surfaces in the door-jamb area. The left front door outer panel has a broad dent with multiple creases near its front edge and upper-middle section. The left rear quarter panel is also severely deformed above and forward of the rear wheel, with deep creasing extending from the rear-door area toward the wheel arch. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2021 Audi A4 quattro Premium sedan, built by Audi AG in Germany. It has all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 40 TFSI 2.0T engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. Listed safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records show four recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. They concern the middle-rear seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, rear axle alignment following earlier repairs, rear-axle trailing-arm lock nuts, and rearview-camera display software. Recall repairs should be verified with Audi before purchase. The extent of the visible body deformation, particularly around the left front A-pillar and door-jamb area, warrants a thorough inspection of the body structure, door operation, suspension, wheel alignment, airbags, restraint systems, wiring, and any hidden damage before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
