2018 AUDI A4 quattro Premium

The vehicle is a 2018 Audi A4 sedan with a salvage certificate (MV-907A). The auction record lists “UNDERCARRIAGE” as the primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that this claim cannot be confirmed from the available photos and requires physical inspection; visible damage is present on the left rear side body panels. The left rear door outer panel has severe deformation, including a large depressed area with multiple pronounced creases and irregular distortion. The left rear quarter panel, particularly the area behind the rear door and above the wheel arch, has moderate denting and creasing. Multiple scratches, light-colored scuff marks, and areas of scraped paint are visible across the damaged door and quarter panel. The rocker panel or side skirt below the left rear door also has moderate deformation and scuffing near the rear wheel. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as an Audi A4 quattro Premium sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. One NHTSA safety recall applies to this model and year: recall 21V874000 concerns a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. This may cause the system to misdiagnose a fault and disable the passenger air bag. The specified remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge through an Audi dealer. The repair status for this vehicle has not been provided. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the undercarriage, suspension, wheel and tire assemblies, rocker structure, door and quarter-panel inner components, airbag and restraint systems, and alignment before purchase.
