2018 AUDI Q3 Premium, Sport Premium

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the unverified FRONT END primary-damage claim. However, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front of the 2018 Audi Q3 has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively buckled and creased, with a large uneven opening above the front-end components. The front end and both front-corner areas show significant crushing, torn body panels, exposed internal components, and multiple displaced or broken parts. The front bumper cover is fractured and partially detached, with its lower section hanging away from the vehicle and portions missing from the front opening. The grille is broken and displaced, with open gaps and exposed components behind it. One front lamp assembly is missing, while the visible front headlamp is displaced from the surrounding bodywork. The front fender is heavily creased and torn around the wheel arch, with the wheel-arch liner and internal components exposed. Additional broken and displaced plastic components are visible along the front edge of the engine bay. Inside the vehicle, the driver airbag and a side-curtain airbag are deployed. Multiple warning indicators are illuminated on the instrument cluster, including EPC, battery, check-engine, steering, airbag, and tire-pressure warnings. The findings do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, electrical systems, or other mechanical components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before determining the full repair scope. A safety recall, campaign 19V385000, applies to certain 2016–2018 Audi Q3 vehicles equipped with LED headlights. The recall concerns a front turn signal that may become inoperable without the required driver notification; the remedy is a free body control module update through Audi. The buyer should verify whether this vehicle is equipped with LED headlights and whether the recall repair has been completed.
