2016 AUDI Q3 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front edge of the hood is visibly deformed and uneven, particularly along the left-front section, and sits raised above the grille. The front bumper cover has severe damage, including extensive abrasion, broken and irregular edges, and a large open area in the lower left corner where bumper-cover or insert material is missing. The lower front-left bumper opening also has missing black trim or insert material, with adjacent bumper material torn or irregular. Further damage is visible around the grille surround and lower intake. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2016 Audi Q3 SUV with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and Premium Plus trim. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Spain. The drivetrain was not specified in the provided decode. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model range: a potential front-turn-signal indicator issue on vehicles with LED headlights, a software issue affecting brake-light operation during emergency braking with the parking brake, and a software issue that may make the side-marker lights inoperative with the parking or headlights. The recall remedies involve free software or body-control-module updates. Completion status for this specific vehicle should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
