2017 AUDI A4 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with an MV-907A salvage certificate and a stated auction primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” These are auction records and should be treated as unverified claims. Stage 1 reports that the visible photos partially support the FRONT END classification because the left front fender is visibly deformed and scuffed; no obvious extensive central front-end deformation is visible. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented damage is concentrated at the left front fender around the wheel arch. The panel has a pronounced irregular deformation and crease above and forward of the wheel, with multiple dark scuff marks and areas of scraped paint. The damage is assessed as moderate collision damage. No other damage findings are provided, so the condition of the surrounding body, wheel, suspension, steering, lighting, and underlying components requires physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Audi A4 quattro Prestige sedan, built 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 is listed: recall 21V874000, concerning a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. This fault may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag. Audi’s stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the seat cover, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase.
