2018 AUDI Q3

The vehicle is a 2018 Audi Q3 listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary damage classification is “rear end.” Stage 1 reports that the photographs partially support the rear-end claim because abrasion is visible on the rear bumper, but they do not show major rear-end crushing or structural deformation. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The reported exterior damage includes missing black plastic wheel-arch molding along the upper and forward sections of both the left and right rear wheel arches. Mounting holes are exposed in both areas. The rear bumper cover has multiple abrasion and scuff marks across the center and right side. These findings are consistent with moderate exterior collision damage; no additional damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a Spain-built Audi Q3 SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and seating for five. The decode also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, parking assist, rear visibility equipment, and curtain airbags for all rows. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: recall 19V385000 concerns certain 2016–2018 Audi Q3 vehicles equipped with LED headlights. An inoperable front turn signal may fail to provide an indicator to the driver. Audi’s stated remedy is a free body control module software update by an authorized dealer. The vehicle’s individual recall completion status should be verified with Audi using the VIN. A physical inspection is recommended to check the rear bumper mounting points, wheel-arch attachment areas, paint and body alignment, and any damage not visible in the supplied findings.
