2024 AUDI Q4 E-TRON

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with FRONT END identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible severe damage at the front-left corner and adjacent left side supports the FRONT END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle is a 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron SUV, identified by VIN WA1MUBFZ3RP038666. NHTSA data identifies it as an all-wheel-drive, battery-electric vehicle manufactured by Audi AG in Germany, with a listed combined system output of 335 hp. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender is missing, exposing inner components and the area around the wheel. The left front A-pillar and front-door hinge area show pronounced crumpling and folded metal. The left front door is heavily deformed, with deep dents, sharp creases, scraped paint, and damage extending into the door opening and surrounding inner structure. Bodywork around the left front wheel opening is also missing or displaced. At the front, the hood edge is raised and uneven, with an irregular gap above the grille. The left side of the front bumper has an irregular opening and separated sections, while the bumper corner, headlamp-area panels, mounting points, and surrounding body components are missing or displaced. Internal components are exposed in this area. Damage extends along the left side, including dents, creases, and scraped paint on the left front door, left rear door, and adjacent panels. The left rear quarter panel is dented and creased around the wheel arch and rear lamp area. The left rear taillight has broken or missing outer sections, exposing internal lamp components. The left rear bumper corner is torn and separated from the body, with missing or displaced sections, and the panel below and forward of the taillight is also dented and creased. The extent of the A-pillar, door-opening, and front-end deformation indicates that structural alignment, restraint-system components, suspension and steering areas, electrical systems, lighting, sensors, and the high-voltage vehicle systems should be professionally inspected before any repair or road use. The reported findings do not establish the condition of components that are not visible. NHTSA records show three applicable recall campaigns for this model and model year. Recall 23V842000 concerns overheating of the compact 220V/240V charging cable or outlet when charging at 100%; the remedy involves a temperature-sensing replacement cable, with interim guidance to avoid using the affected 220V/240V cable. Recall 24V361000 concerns incorrect headlight-control-module software and requires a software update. Recall 25V125000 concerns an on-board charger failure that may stop charging the 12-volt battery and result in loss of drive power; the remedy is replacement of the on-board charger. Recall completion should be verified with Audi before purchase or operation.
