Conclusion on damage and condition

Front End is damage to the front end of a vehicle that is most often the result of collisions or accidents. At car auctions, variants with such problems are very common. According to statistics, in about 30% of road accidents cars get damage to the front part of the body. The most affected are the bumper, hood, radiator grille, cooling system and headlights. Deformation of the front part of the body is not only a cosmetic problem. Such defects seriously affect the possibility and safety of further operation of this lot. How Front End affects the condition:

In the worst case, the integrity of the engine compartment is violated, there are malfunctions of airbags, and if the damage affected the underhood space, the operation of the transmission may be disturbed. The cost of repairing Front End defects depends on the extent of the damage and the type of parts that need to be replaced/repaired. To avoid the risks associated with internal damage when buying, we strongly recommend that you contact an independent auto expert. He will be able to give an objective assessment of the condition of the vehicle and the cost of its restoration. According to preliminary data, the estimated repair cost is 0 USD.

In addition, a secondary damage "Mechanical" is specified, which is mechanical damage. These are typically faults that are the result of natural wear and tear on mechanical components, the result of irregular or untimely maintenance, the result of negligent operation, or a collision (accident). If a vehicle has Mechanical damage, it means that one or more important systems have failed - engine, transmission, steering, clutch, brakes. How Mechanical damage affects the condition:

Some malfunctions do not show up immediately, but while driving, and this carries a danger to passengers. If Mechanical damage is ignored, it can bring the vehicle to a complete stop, causing an accident.

Default status means that nothing is known about the condition of the vehicle, i.e. there is no exact data whether it starts or can drive. There can be several reasons for the lack of data - this is the lack of information from the seller, limited access to the car, other circumstances that prevent the diagnosis. That is, the "Default" status does not give the buyer any confidence in anything. The car may turn out to be both fully serviceable and in a state of emergency.

Without additional information it is impossible to judge the real costs of restoration. Therefore, for an objective assessment of the condition of the car, we recommend ordering a paid report on Carhistory. Such an inspection will help to identify hidden defects, tell you about the operating conditions, mileage, owners, maintenance, will give enough information to be confident in the decision to buy.
