Scrapping Standards for Flood-Damaged Vehicles

[MacAlexis]

When a vehicle cannot meet the national safety technical standards for in-use motor vehicles after repair and adjustment, it must be scrapped. Below is relevant information: Introduction: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's underbody components and water. Hazards of Flood-Damaged Vehicles: The dangers of water-damaged vehicles are significant. If a motor vehicle is submerged, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance. For example, water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden engine stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
