Is It Safe After Registering an Accident Vehicle with Fake Documents?

[Alexis]

Registering an accident vehicle with fake documents is unsafe and illegal. Here is an introduction to accident vehicles: 1. Definition: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has sustained damage from non-natural wear and tear, resulting in decreased mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, an "accident vehicle" refers to one with structural damage. 2. Visual Inspection: After checking the gloss and color difference, inspect the seams between various body parts. Focus on whether the seams are uniform and whether the edges are smoothly finished. Typically, "original factory parts" that have not undergone sheet metal repair will have even seams without noticeable inconsistencies in thickness.

To be honest, I've heard from a friend about transferring accident-damaged cars with fake paperwork. He bought a cloned car cheaply, but within half a year on the highway, the brakes failed and he almost had a serious accident. Later he found out the airbag control module was broken and the steering shaft had been poorly rewelded. The worst part was when insurance refused to cover an accident because the VIN didn't match. Even if transferred, these cars are ticking time bombs - deformed body panels can't be properly repaired, you're always worried the chassis might snap suddenly, repair costs exceed the purchase price, and worst of all, insurers will discover it's a cloned car in any accident and pay nothing.

My neighbor works in the used car business, and he says that 90% of accident cars with fake paperwork have safety hazards. The original car might have had its frame deformed in a crash, but the repair shop just does some simple welding and a paint job to make it look new. On the surface, it appears fine, but the crash beams are no longer functional. During the ownership transfer, the DMV can only verify the authenticity of the paperwork, not the actual condition of the car. The most dangerous issue is with the wiring—accident cars often have loose connections, which can cause the headlights to suddenly go out while driving, and in severe cases, can lead to spontaneous combustion. These cars can't even pass annual inspections without paying extra to middlemen, and if caught by traffic police, they'll be impounded and scrapped directly.

Last time at the repair shop, I saw a car with forged paperwork after an accident. The A-pillar had been cut and rewelded, then filled with putty and repainted. The mechanic said such weld points couldn't withstand a second impact, making the car about as safe as paper mache. Not to mention the airbags might have been replaced with counterfeits that wouldn't deploy in a real crash. Even if the title transfer went smoothly, computer diagnostics would reveal the engine number mismatch. You can't even install genuine parts during repairs, and the fuel consumption is ridiculously high. Driving such a car isn't just illegal—it's irresponsible to both yourself and others on the road.
