If it is a brand-name car, it may cost tens of thousands. If it is an ordinary car, it will cost thousands of dollars. To put it simply, according to some norms in the industry, we need to further check the damage of vehicles.

Mainly check whether the body structure is damaged, including whether the engine compartment is structurally deformed due to impact, and whether the left and right longitudinal beams and the left and right front shock absorbers are damaged or deformed by suspension. Structural damage can be defined as an accident car. If only the front bumper, fender and headlights are damaged, it can be defined as a minor accident.

Judging the size of vehicle accidents

There are no specific criteria for judging, and there are no clear legal provisions. According to the law, as long as there has been a traffic accident, it is defined as an accident car. Then the used car industry has some normative guidance and some default accident definition rules to distinguish the size of vehicle accidents.

The front face of the vehicle was smashed, which can be determined to be an accident car. However, the front faces of some vehicles have been hit badly, which may actually be just the comminuted damage of plastic parts such as front shells, bumpers and headlights. Remove the smashed part, that is, some plastic damage. According to the past experience in the industry, this is not a big accident.
