2022 AUDI Q3

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that visible damage to the left lower side trim supports the SIDE classification, but the photographs do not independently confirm the salvage-title status. The vehicle is a 2022 Audi Q3 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV, VIN WA1EECF38N1092772. Factory data identifies it as an all-wheel-drive model with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder 45 TFSI gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. The front-left tire has a severe tear and split through the lower sidewall and is collapsed around the wheel in that area. The tire must be replaced before the vehicle is driven, and the wheel, suspension, steering, and related components should be inspected for impact damage. A moderate section of the left lower rocker or side-skirt trim is missing between the wheel arches. This leaves an irregular opening with dark, exposed mounting material beneath the doors. The condition of the underlying rocker structure, mounting points, and adjacent body panels should be verified during a physical inspection. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for this model and model year. They involve the rear-view camera or infotainment system potentially failing to display a rear image, a possible fuel-tank vent-pipe issue, and a rear-window manufacturing defect. Recall repairs are described as free of charge, but the completion status for this individual vehicle should be confirmed with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
