Methods for Inspecting Vehicle Body Damage?
1 Answers
Inspect the vehicle compartment, especially protrusions on both the interior and exterior, body panels and protective plates, door and window glass, etc., to ensure they meet technical requirements. All components should be complete, functional, and securely connected. The fixing of doors and interior handrails, as well as the connection of hanging rings, should be reliable, and the guardrails at hinged sections should be intact. Below are the common levels of vehicle body damage: 1. Minor Damage: Damage to the car's headlights and the area around them, with scratches, abrasions, or paint peeling on the surface. 2. Light Damage: Damage to the car's front face and headlights, damage to the front fenders, or minor damage to a specific part of the car body. During operation, any accident, regardless of its severity, can cause light damage to the car body, including slight deformation of sheet metal and paint damage. 3. Moderate Damage: Damage to the car's front face, front fenders, engine hood, front windshield, front pillar surrounds, rear fenders, trunk lid, and door pillars. 4. Severe Damage: Damage to the car's front face, engine hood, front and rear fenders, as well as doors, rear swing, trunk lid, and even damage to the roof and floor of the car body, with deformation occurring in the front, middle, and rear compartments. More severe accidents often result in significant damage to the car body. 5. Rollover and Severe Collision Damage: In cases of severe collisions or accidental rollovers, alongside causing injuries or fatalities to passengers, the car body suffers severe damage, with the entire vehicle undergoing significant deformation.
