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 10297 USD.

In addition, a secondary damage "Underbody" is listed, which is the name for underbody damage. The car usually gets them when hitting a curb, hitting a pothole, or driving off-road. Protective screens, exhaust system elements, engine mounts and even fuel lines are damaged. This is one of the most "invisible" and most "tricky" types of damage, as it can have serious safety and performance implications. How Underbody damage affects the condition:

Vehicle Starts" status means that the engine starts, but the vehicle cannot move on its own. The problem may be due to a faulty transmission, clutch system malfunction, chassis damage, brake system malfunction, and other components responsible for the vehicle's movement.

For the buyer, the status of "Vehicle Starts" means that the car requires at least technical diagnostics, and possibly expensive repairs. Starting the engine is only one of the stages of condition assessment, and it does not guarantee the overall performance, so technical inspection should be mandatory.

To get a complete picture of the vehicle's technical condition and history, order an advanced paid report at carhistory.vin.
