2018 AUDI Q3

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having Salvage condition, with “Right Side” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that the visible damage is concentrated on the left side, contradicting the auction’s stated Right Side damage code. Stage 1 also reports that the visible exterior damage is consistent with a salvage-condition vehicle. The documented damage includes moderate deformation and scraping on the left rear door and lower left side, together with a dent around the left rear quarter panel and wheel arch. Paint scuffing, paint transfer, and multiple horizontal scrape marks are visible along the lower sections of the left-side doors. The left rear wheel-arch molding and lower exterior molding along the left rear door and rocker area are missing, leaving mounting holes and exposed edges. A pronounced gap is present between the left rear bumper corner and the adjacent body panel, with the bumper edge and mounting area exposed. Three detached white exterior trim pieces are also shown separately. The findings describe visible exterior and collision-related damage only. They do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, structural, or safety systems. The missing and detached trim, panel deformation, bumper gap, and paint damage should be assessed during a physical inspection, along with the underlying mounting points and adjacent body structure. VIN decoding identifies this as a 2018 Audi Q3 SUV/MPV built by Audi AG in Spain. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, an automatic transmission, and seating for five occupants. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, dynamic brake support, rear visibility, and park assist. NHTSA 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 inoperative without displaying an indicator to the driver. Audi’s stated remedy was a free body control module update. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
