2015 FORD ESCAPE VIN: 1FMCU9G97FUC06603

Conclusion on damage and condition

Rear End - damage to the rear of the vehicle is usually caused by a rear end collision. The most common causes are improper distances, improper parking, and harsh braking. There are just as many aftermarket options for this kind of damage as there are for Front End (just as common a problem). Rear End is a broken/dented rear bumper, deformed trunk lid, broken taillights. In serious collisions, the vehicle has deformation and body geometry disruption. How Rear End affects the condition:

As a rule, such lots are favorable for purchase, as they do not need expensive repairs. However, given that internal damage is possible, when buying machinery with Rear End, it is better not to limit yourself to external inspection. To be completely sure of the safety of the vehicle and the feasibility of restoration costs, we recommend engaging an independent appraisal specialist. The current estimated repair cost is 10912 USD.

In addition, the secondary damage indicated is "Minor Dents and Scratches" - these are superficial damages. The main cause of such defects is careless driving (damage is caused by bad parking, careless opening of doors in tight parking lots, minor traffic accidents, careless driving on bad roads). Minor Dents and Scratches seem insignificant, but over time, even a micro-scratch where the paintwork has been damaged can cause corrosion of the bodywork. How Minor Dents and Scratches affect the condition:

If a lot at auction has a "Run & Drive" status, it means that the car starts and drives itself, that the transmission shifts into the right gear. That is, at the time of inspection, the engine and transmission were in working order and there were no critical faults. Nevertheless, having a "Run & Drive" status does not guarantee that the vehicle is in good working order. Used cars sold at auction may have hidden defects, problems with brakes, electronics, suspension and other damage that can only be detected by a detailed inspection. There is not even a guarantee that with this status will start and drive when it gets into the hands of the buyer. Breakdowns can happen at any time, and all repair costs will fall entirely on the new owner.

To avoid unforeseen repair costs and get a real picture of the condition, we recommend ordering a detailed paid report on the platform Carhistory.vin. In this way you will determine the validity of the purchase and in addition you will learn a lot of useful information about the car (legal cleanliness, data on accidents, registration history, maintenance and much more).
