Does Door Panel Beating and Painting Count as an Accident Vehicle? Door panel beating and painting does count as an accident vehicle. Below is relevant information about accident vehicles: Definition of an Accident Vehicle: A vehicle that has been impacted, damaging the engine compartment and the passenger compartment. A vehicle where the rear quarter panel damage exceeds one-third of its area. A vehicle with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed longitudinal beams. A vehicle with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed shock absorber mounts. A vehicle with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed A, B, or C pillars. A vehicle where the airbags have deployed due to impact. A vehicle with severe welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation in other non-removable parts. A vehicle where the body has been submerged in water exceeding half of the body height, or where water has entered the passenger compartment. A vehicle where the body has been burned over an area exceeding 0.5 square meters, and still poses safety hazards after repair. Methods to Determine an Accident Vehicle: If checking vehicle accident records and maintenance records offline, you can visit a 4S shop. Bring the owner's identity proof, purchase invoice, and other credentials to the 4S shop's after-sales service, and they will help retrieve the vehicle's maintenance records. The vehicle's accident records and maintenance records follow the vehicle, not the owner. Every maintenance and repair session is archived by the shop. Even if the vehicle is serviced at another 4S shop, its maintenance and repair records can still be accessed.
