2015 AUDI Q3 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is a 2015 Audi Q3, quattro Prestige trim, decoded as an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0T four-cylinder gasoline engine and an engine displacement of 1.984 litres. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Spain. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “minor dent/scratches” shown as the primary damage. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the photographs do not visibly support the listed minor dent/scratch damage; instead, they show a missing driver-side exterior mirror. The salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The documented damage is moderate collision damage to the driver-side door mirror. The mirror housing and glass are absent, leaving internal mirror components and wiring exposed at the mounting area. The mirror assembly and any related wiring or electronic functions should be inspected and repaired or replaced before road use. NHTSA records identify two recalls for 2015 Audi Q3 vehicles. Recall 16V642000 concerns software that may cause the side-marker lights to remain inoperative when the parking lights or headlights are on; the remedy is a free software update. Recall 15V200000 applies to certain vehicles manufactured from April 4, 2014, through November 5, 2014, and concerns sunroof operation when the vehicle is switched off; the remedy is a free sunroof control-module software update. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorised dealer.
