2021 AUDI E-TRON quattro Premium

This 2021 Audi e-tron is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction condition designation of “more than 75% damage.” The auction’s primary damage code is “FRONT END.” Stage 1’s assessment supports the front-end code based on the extensive visible damage to the bumper, grille, hood, and front corners, but states that the photographs cannot confirm whether the damage exceeds 75%. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is substantially deformed across the leading edge and left-front area, with an uneven raised gap above the front fascia and fender. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are extensively cracked and broken, with missing sections around both corners. The grille and adjacent black trim are also broken, with missing material on the left side and lower front area. The left headlamp area has an open, broken-looking gap with exposed internal mounting components, while damage and missing bumper material are also visible around the opposite headlamp. The front-left corner and hood-to-fender area are separated and irregular, with exposed components. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver airbag in the steering wheel, the front passenger airbag, and curtain or side airbags along the roofline and side-window areas, including the rear passenger compartment. Repairs will therefore require comprehensive inspection and replacement of affected restraint-system components, in addition to body, lighting, fascia, and potentially structural or mounting repairs. The full extent of damage cannot be determined from these findings alone. The instrument display shows the warning message, “Electrical system: malfunction! Safely stop vehicle,” together with warning indicators. This confirms an electrical-system fault indication, but the available information does not identify the underlying cause or affected component. The vehicle should not be assumed to be operational until the high-voltage, charging, propulsion, restraint, and conventional electrical systems have been professionally diagnosed. According to the VIN decoding information, this is a left-hand-drive Audi e-tron quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, battery-electric propulsion, an automatic single-speed transmission, five seats, and 20-inch wheels. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Brussels, Belgium. The VIN provided is WA1AAAGE5MB010701. NHTSA records list multiple recalls applicable to the 2021 Audi e-tron/e-tron Quattro range. They include recalls involving the rear-seat belt retractor, brake-booster operation and possible loss of ABS or stability-control assistance, glove-box trim interference with knee-airbag deployment, rearview-camera display software, the infotainment unit, the 220/240-volt portable charging cable, high-voltage battery-module overheating, and a later rearview-camera software issue. Recall numbers listed include 21V606000, 21V707000, 21V595000, 21V569000, 22V742000, 22V806000, 23V842000, 23V867000, and 25V900000. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or NHTSA, and any outstanding campaign work should be addressed before the vehicle is operated.
