This 2018 Audi A4 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status and a SIDE primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reported that the visible damage supports the SIDE classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status could not be confirmed from the photographs.

The panel has deep creasing, deformation, and crushed sections extending around the fuel-filler opening and wheel arch. The exterior fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler area exposed. Long scratches and areas of missing or abraded white paint are also visible above and behind the left rear wheel. The left side of the rear bumper cover has several horizontal scuff marks and scratches. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive Audi A4 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle’s model and year: recall 21V874000, concerning the seat-heater cable and Passenger Occupant Detection System. A contact fault may cause the system to disable the front passenger airbag. 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. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase or registration.
