At what flood level can a vehicle be considered for scrapping?
1 Answers
Flooding reaching the engine hood is equivalent to the vehicle being scrapped, and even if not scrapped, repairs would cost approximately 80% of the vehicle's value. Below is relevant information: Flood-damaged vehicles: These refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, typically where the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and seats, and the underbody components being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits and fires. Scrap vehicles: These are vehicles that have either reached a certain age or have suffered severe damage or poor technical conditions beyond repair, with fuel consumption exceeding 50% of the national standard, and are mandated by government regulations to be scrapped.
