2017 AUDI A4 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “MV-907A Salvage Certificate” and identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage claim, citing severe deformation of the rear quarter and trunk areas and the missing rear windshield glass. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear windshield glass is missing, leaving an open rear-window aperture. A detached red-colored component is visible inside the opening. The trunk lid and adjacent rear deck are severely creased, raised, and irregularly deformed around the opening. The left rear quarter panel and its transition to the C-pillar are sharply crushed and deformed, with damage extending toward the rear window and trunk junction. Additional severe buckling and deep creases are present along the rear-left trunk and quarter-panel area. The visible rear quarter and trunk transition on the right side also show pronounced deformation and sharp surface irregularities. Based on the supplied VIN data, this is a 2017 Audi A4 Sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium trim with the Season of Audi Package. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: recall 21V874000, concerning a potential contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. This condition may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger airbag. The stated remedy involves replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover by an authorized dealer, free of charge. Recall repair status should be verified with Audi using the VIN. The supplied findings document substantial rear-end body damage. A complete inspection should confirm the condition of the rear structural areas, glass installation points, interior components, restraint systems, wiring, and mechanical systems before purchase or repair.
