2021 AUDI Q3

The vehicle is listed with a **salvage certificate**, with the auction’s primary damage classification recorded as **rear end**. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear liftgate and bumper damage supports the rear-end damage classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear liftgate has broad, moderate dents and creases below and to the left of the license-plate recess, with additional deformation along its lower edge. The lower rear bumper cover has severe damage, including extensive cracking, torn plastic, jagged openings, and areas of missing material, primarily on the left and center sections. Broad light-colored scrapes and abrasion marks are also visible across the lower and middle portions of the bumper. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2021 Audi Q3 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV, built in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle: campaign 21V606000 concerns the middle-rear seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, which may deactivate early and affect child-restraint security; campaign 22V673000 concerns a potentially damaged fuel-tank vent pipe that may allow fuel to spill from the filler neck when the cap is opened. Recall completion should be confirmed with an Audi dealer using the VIN. A physical inspection is recommended to assess damage behind the bumper and liftgate, as well as the condition of the rear body structure, sensors, lighting, exhaust, and related systems.
