An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that is damaged by an accident with unnatural wear and tear, resulting in a decrease in mechanical performance and economic value.

Accident vehicles include:

1. Vehicles that have been hit and damaged the engine compartment and cockpit.

2. The rear fender of the vehicle body impacts the vehicle with damage exceeding one third.

3. The longitudinal beam is welded, cut, reshaped and deformed.

4. The shock absorber seat has welded, cut, reshaped and deformed vehicles.

5. ABC column has welded, cut, reshaped and deformed vehicles.

6. Vehicles whose airbags pop up due to impact.

8. vehicles whose bodies are soaked in water by more than half, or vehicles with accumulated water entering the cockpit.

9. Vehicles whose body has been burned by fire for more than .5 square meters and still have potential safety hazards after repair.

accident car identification method:

1. Ask the testing center.

no matter which city the mainstream models have been repaired, they will be recorded in the database of the manufacturers. These records can be found in regular 4S stores. Before buying a used car, it is necessary to go to the 4S shop and check the maintenance records of the car.

2. check the insurance.

domestic insurance companies, large and small, have realized information sharing. Records of previous accidents still exist even if the insurance company is changed. And even if more owners are replaced, as long as the frame number remains unchanged, the accident record of the vehicle will continue.

3. Look at the interior.

the interior can better reflect the old and new of a car than the appearance. For example, in the daily rotation of the steering wheel, friction with the palm will leave a mark; The surface of the central armrest shift lever began to fall off, which is by no means the degree of wear that can be reached in 3 thousand to 5 thousand kilometers. The most important thing is that the knobs and buttons in the car will become smooth and shiny because of long-term use.
