2020 AUDI Q3

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Certificate of Destruction and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. However, the Stage 1 photo review found substantial front-end collision damage, with no clear side-impact damage visible; accordingly, the SIDE primary-damage claim is not supported by the reviewed photos. The Certificate of Destruction status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photos. The vehicle is a 2020 Audi Q3, VIN WA1EECF33L1088478. NHTSA data identifies it as an all-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary and is listed in the S line quattro Premium Plus trim. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is visibly raised and creased along its leading edge, with uneven gaps above the grille and headlights. Multiple sections of the front grille are broken, displaced, or missing, exposing components behind it. The front bumper cover, particularly on the vehicle-right side, has cracks, torn sections, displaced trim, and missing material. The front fascia is separated around the grille and headlamp areas, leaving open gaps and exposed components. Airbags or other restraint cushions are visibly deployed from the steering wheel, dashboard, and front cabin side or curtain areas. The extent of the visible damage and the deployed restraints indicate that a comprehensive inspection and repair assessment would be required, including verification of structural components, cooling and front-end systems, lighting, sensors, wiring, restraint-system components, and vehicle alignment before the vehicle could be considered roadworthy. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 20V786000 concerns the brake pedal plate, which may bend or detach during sudden braking; the remedy involves inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the entire brake pedal. Recall 20V644000 concerns an incorrectly bolted driver’s seat frame, which may require inspection and possible replacement of the seat structure. Recall completion should be verified for this specific vehicle.
