2017 AUDI Q3 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE** and identifies the primary damage as **REAR END**. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification: the rear liftgate, rear window, right rear quarter area, tail lamp, and bumper assembly show extensive damage. The salvage certificate of title itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has extensive severe damage concentrated at the rear. The rear liftgate window glass is missing, leaving the cargo area exposed, with broken glass remnants visible around the opening. The liftgate and surrounding opening are deeply dented, sharply creased, buckled, and irregular, particularly along the upper and right sides. The right rear quarter panel is crushed and creased around the tail lamp, fuel-door area, and rear wheel opening. The rear bumper cover is detached and displaced from the vehicle, with broken and missing sections. Internal mounting areas, components, and the metal bumper reinforcement are exposed. The right rear tail lamp lens is shattered or absent, exposing internal lamp elements and wiring. Scraped paint and abrasion marks are also visible on the damaged rear panels. The supplied recall information lists three NHTSA campaigns for this model range: campaign 19V385000 concerning possible inoperative front turn-signal indicators on vehicles with LED headlights; campaign 17V400000 concerning brake lights not activating during emergency braking when the parking brake is used; and campaign 16V642000 concerning side-marker lights becoming inoperative with the parking or headlamps. The stated remedies for these recalls are free software or body-control-module updates through Audi dealers. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
