Does Replacing a Bumper Count as an Accident Vehicle?
1 Answers
It does not count as an accident vehicle. The definition of an accident vehicle is a vehicle that has suffered non-natural damage due to an accident, resulting in damage to the vehicle, a decline in mechanical performance, and a decrease in economic value. Flood-damaged cars, fire-damaged cars, and spliced cars are all considered accident vehicles. Below is relevant information: Definition of an accident vehicle: Damage to the engine compartment and driver's compartment. Rear quarter panel impact exceeding 1/3 of the vehicle. Vehicle longitudinal beams, shock absorbers, ABC pillars showing signs of welding, reshaping, cutting, or deformation. Vehicles with deployed airbags. Vehicles submerged in water exceeding half of the body height or water entering the driver's compartment. Vehicle body fire damage exceeding 0.5 square meters, or non-removable parts showing signs of welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. Identifying an accident vehicle: First, check with the brand's 4S store after-sales department to inquire about the vehicle's maintenance and repair records. Check with the insurance company to determine if the vehicle has been involved in any incidents. Inspect the vehicle's interior for wear and tear, and check the exterior for signs of repainting or repairs.
