2014 AUDI A6

The vehicle is a 2014 Audi A6 with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this primary-damage designation; however, the salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper assembly is severely damaged, primarily on the left side and lower front. Large sections of the bumper cover are missing or broken away, exposing the front reinforcement bar and internal components. A detached bumper section is visible on the ground in front of the vehicle. The leading edge of the hood also has moderate deformation, with an irregular shape and an uneven gap above the grille and headlamp area. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a German-built, four-door Audi A6 sedan with all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission, gasoline power, and a six-cylinder engine with a decoded displacement of approximately 2.995 liters. The VIN is reported as decoded clean, with a correct check digit. Official NHTSA recall records include a passenger-seat occupant-classification system recall for certain 2012–2018 Audi A6 vehicles, relating to possible malfunction of the passenger airbag detection system. Records also list a fuel-line recall covering certain 2012–2014 Audi A6 vehicles because of a potential fuel leak. Two additional coolant-pump recalls cover certain Audi A6 vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter turbo engines; the decoded engine information provided for this vehicle lists a 2.995-liter six-cylinder engine, so the engine-specific applicability should be verified by VIN and service records. Recall completion status is not provided. The front-end damage should be repaired and the vehicle should undergo a complete structural, restraint-system, lighting, cooling-system, and mechanical inspection before purchase or operation.
