2018 AUDI Q3

The auction records list this 2018 Audi Q3 as having a salvage certificate of title, with “minor dent/scratches” recorded as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the provided photos do not show clear collision damage or unambiguous minor dents or scratches; therefore, the salvage-title status and auction damage claim cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The documented visible issues are minor cosmetic creasing on the black leather interior. Wrinkles are present on the driver’s seat cushion and lower side bolster, and similar creasing is visible on the front passenger seat cushion. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive Audi Q3 SUV 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 decode does not specify the drivetrain. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year: recall 19V385000 concerns the front turn-signal indicator on vehicles equipped with LED headlights. An inoperable turn signal may fail to alert the driver to the problem. The stated remedy is a free body control module software update by an Audi dealer. The available information does not confirm whether this recall has been completed on this vehicle.
