2024 AUDI Q3

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be verified from photographs. The front bumper cover and central grille/fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator, condenser, wiring, brackets, and other front-end components. The headlamp assembly is also missing from the front corner shown, with internal mounting areas and wiring visible. The hood’s front edge and corner are displaced upward, sharply creased, and irregular in contour. The adjacent front fender has severe folds, displaced panel edges, and broken openings around the headlamp and bumper area. Wheel-arch cladding or trim is missing at the visible front wheel opening, leaving mounting holes and exposed panel edges. Loose wiring and black plastic components are hanging below the exposed lower front end. The findings indicate extensive collision damage, and the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, lighting, restraint, and driver-assistance systems requires a thorough physical inspection before repair or operation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2024 Audi Q3 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 228 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 24V251000 concerns a potentially loose electrical connection for the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag; the remedy is replacement of the occupant-detection system control module. Recall 25V082000 concerns a camera-control-unit software error that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying correctly; the remedy is a software update. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Audi before purchase or use.
