2016 AUDI A6 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage code through extensive missing and damaged components; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The main damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, exposing the radiator area, wiring, reinforcement, brackets, and other internal mounting components. The hood has dents and creases across its front section, with a raised and distorted leading edge. The lower front fascia and undertray are broken, separated, and hanging below the vehicle. The exposed radiator support and side mounting areas show visibly deformed metal, particularly near the right side of the radiator assembly. The cooling-stack fins also have localized horizontal creasing and irregularities. Additional plastic mounting and liner components at the right front corner and wheel-arch area are broken or displaced. Minor cosmetic damage is visible at the rear, where the bumper has dark scuffing and light yellow paint transfer. Light horizontal scuffs are also present on the left rear door and adjacent lower side bodywork. Inside, the driver’s leather seat cushion shows pronounced creasing, wrinkling, and localized discoloration. The vehicle is a 2016 Audi A6 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as manufactured by Audi AG in Germany, with the Premium Plus trim listed. NHTSA records list three recalls for this make, model, and year. Recall 19V035000 concerns potentially leaking left and right fuel rails, which may increase the risk of fire; the stated remedy is replacement of the fuel rails. Recall 18V862000 concerns an auxiliary-heater electrical connector that may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and, where necessary, replacement of the heater and connector. Recall 18V370000 concerns the front passenger occupant-classification system, which may affect proper passenger-airbag deployment; the remedy is installation of a PODS repair kit. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer. The extent of the front-end damage means that replacement of numerous exterior, lighting, cooling, structural-support, wiring, and mounting components should be expected. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, airbag and restraint systems, steering and suspension, drivetrain, and overall roadworthiness.
