My recently purchased B7 RS4 came with three keys and No service history In the slightest, got a good deal on it, but I am left wondering why one key fits the ignition, the other two fit the doors only

Because the locks have been changed at some time in the past.
Probably due to a break-in.

Iam guessing just the ignition was changed, it’s not listed as being stolen recovered though

Won't be on the register if no insurance claim was made.
Or if a claim was made and it was recovered and the insurance didn't pay out for a total loss.
That's my understanding and assuming something has happened with it in the past.
