2018 AUDI Q3 Premium, Sport Premium

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating more than 75% damage and a primary damage classification of front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification; however, the photographs alone do not confirm the more-than-75% damage designation. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood has multiple large creases and folded sections across the front and center, and its leading edge is visibly distorted. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are cracked, torn, displaced, and partially missing, exposing internal components. The center grille and surrounding trim are broken and displaced, with the grille surround separated from adjacent bodywork and the emblem area out of its normal position. One front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible; the opposite headlamp remains installed. The bodywork around one front corner and the headlamp opening is crumpled, with creased metal, irregular edges, and displaced panel sections. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel. The findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s underlying structure, mechanical systems, or other safety components, so these areas require physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Audi Q3 sport utility vehicle, built by Audi AG in Spain. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an automatic transmission, left-hand drive, seating for five, and standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, dynamic brake support, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for all rows, rear visibility, and park assist. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: campaign 19V385000, concerning the front turn signal on vehicles equipped with LED headlights. An inoperable turn signal may fail to display an indicator to the driver. The stated remedy is a free body control module software update by an Audi dealer. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
