2016 AUDI A6 quattro Premium Plus

The 2016 Audi A6 is listed with a salvage certificate and a FRONT END primary-damage classification by the auction. The visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The front bumper cover has a large torn and open section at the visible corner, with separated or missing-looking lower plastic. The front bumper corner is also visibly deformed. The front fender around the wheel arch and headlamp area has multiple pronounced creases and crushed sections. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a four-door Audi A6 sedan with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim. NHTSA records show three recalls applicable to this model and year: a fuel-rail leak recall that may increase fire risk, an auxiliary-heater wiring recall involving possible connector overheating, and a passenger-occupant detection system recall that may affect front passenger airbag deployment. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with Audi using the VIN. A full physical inspection is recommended, including checks of the front structure, cooling and lighting systems, suspension and steering components, restraint-system components, wiring, and the extent of any damage behind the visible body panels.
