Does a Damaged Roof Count as an Accident Vehicle?

[VonGabriela]

A vehicle with a deformed roof due to impact is considered an accident vehicle. An accident vehicle refers to a car that has suffered damage from non-natural wear and tear incidents, leading to a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. Typically, an "accident vehicle" is one that has sustained structural damage. Additionally, water-damaged cars and fire-damaged vehicles also fall under the category of "special accident vehicles." There are three main causes that can lead to roof damage in vehicles, as outlined below: 1. Most common traffic accidents: After a collision, whether active or passive, the vehicle's roof is usually affected to some extent, resulting in twisting or denting and varying degrees of deformation. 2. Rollover accidents: In the event of a rollover, the roof is the most vulnerable part, often leading to large-scale collapse or severe deformation. 3. Falling objects from height: Objects falling from above are the most likely to cause roof damage. When parking, it is advisable to avoid areas near buildings to prevent potential damage from falling objects.
