2021 AUDI Q3

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment found that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage through substantial hood, grille, bumper, and front-trim damage; the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photos. The 2021 Audi Q3 has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily buckled upward and inward across the front and center, with an uneven gap above the grille and headlights. The front bumper cover is cracked, displaced, and separated around the grille and lower intake areas. Multiple grille slats and the central lower grille are broken, cracked, or missing, while the lower bumper section is detached and hanging below the bumper opening. Front wheel-arch trim is damaged or missing, leaving mounting holes and attachment points exposed; a blue-painted curved trim piece was also found separated from the vehicle. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and additional airbag fabric is visible below the driver-side dashboard. The restraint system and any related collision-damage components should be professionally inspected and repaired before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive 2021 Audi Q3 with the 45 TFSI 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V606000 concerns the rear middle-seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, which may deactivate early and prevent a child restraint from securing properly. Recall 22V673000 concerns possible damage to the fuel-tank vent pipe, which may allow fuel to spill from the filler neck when the fuel cap is opened. Recall completion should be verified with an Audi dealer using the vehicle identification number.
