2017 AUDI A6 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate and identifies the primary damage as SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE damage classification, with extensive deformation and scraping on both sides of the vehicle. However, the photographs do not independently confirm the salvage-certificate status. The left rear quarter panel has a missing fuel-filler door, leaving the filler opening exposed. The surrounding panel has a large inward deformation with multiple creases extending around and below the opening. A pronounced dent is also present on the left rear door near its rear edge and lower mid-section. The right front and rear doors show severe crushing, deep dents, irregular panel surfaces, and prominent horizontal and diagonal creases across the middle and lower sections. Multiple scrapes and areas of contrasting surface discoloration are visible on both doors. The lower right-side door and rocker-panel area also has irregular deformation and scraped surfaces. Light superficial paint scuffing is present on the front bumper and lower front bodywork. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2017 Audi A6 sedan with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls for this vehicle: fuel-rail leakage, which may increase the risk of fire; a passenger-occupant detection system issue that may affect front passenger airbag deployment; and an airbag and/or seat-belt-pretensioner deployment issue. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase. Due to the extent of the side impact damage, the doors, rocker-panel area, quarter panel, structural components, restraints, fuel system, and related mechanical and electrical systems should be physically inspected and professionally repaired before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
