2022 AUDI Q3

The vehicle is a 2022 Audi Q3 offered with a salvage-title designation and an auction-listed primary damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible rear-end damage supports the auction’s unverified “REAR END” claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The rear hatch is heavily crushed and folded, the license-plate mounting area is distorted, and the surrounding rear quarter panel and hatch-opening perimeter are substantially deformed. The rear hatch glass is completely missing, leaving the cargo area exposed. The visible rear lamp area is broken or displaced, with surrounding body damage. The rear bumper cover is cracked, crushed, torn, and separated from the vehicle, with a large section hanging below the rear. The lower bumper, diffuser, and related trim show extensive deformation, separation, and missing or detached sections. Moderate but extensive damage is also visible along the side of the vehicle. Both visible side doors contain deep dents and sharp creases, particularly along their lower sections. The lower side sills, rocker-area trim, and adjacent body panels show scraping, scuffing, paint abrasions, and localized deformation. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Audi Q3 SUV with the 45 TFSI 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The decoded trim is S line quattro Premium Plus. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to 2022 Audi Q3 vehicles. These include recalls involving the rear-view camera software or infotainment unit, a possible fuel-tank vent-pipe issue, and a rear-window manufacturing defect. The available information does not establish whether the recall repairs have been completed on this vehicle. Because the rear hatch glass is missing as a result of the visible damage, the vehicle will also require replacement glass and inspection of the surrounding hatch structure, wiring, camera, lighting, seals, cargo-area components, and possible underlying structural or mechanical damage before repair or road use.
