Conclusion on damage and condition

Water/Flood indicates that the vehicle has been in contact with water. Causes are flooding, heavy rainfall, technical flooding. Water/Flood damage comes in two types. The first is when water just got into the car, for example, if the driver forgot to close the windows or sunroof, it rained at night and the interior was flooded with water. In such damage, the electronics and critical components will not be damaged, but the interior will be ruined. Another option is if the vehicle was partially or completely flooded. In this case, there may be many more problems, and they will be much more serious. Even a short stay in water has a negative impact on the technical condition. How Water/Flood damage affects the condition:

If electronics have been damaged, even after drying there is a high risk of hidden damage and short circuits. With water damaged lots, you can never rely on visual inspection. They usually look good, so you run the risk of misjudging the condition and future repair costs. We strongly advise that variants labeled Water/Flood be sent for expert diagnosis with the elements disassembled. A preliminary estimate of the amount of possible repairs is 30175 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.
