What is the classification of flood damage levels?
1 Answers
Flood-damaged vehicles can be classified into five levels from severe to minor: S-A-B-C-D. Among these, S is the most severe level, requiring direct scrapping as the vehicle cannot be used further; D is the minor level, which can be handled by the owner without needing to visit a repair shop. Inspect the engine compartment: Open the engine compartment and check the entire engine block and surrounding areas for signs of rust or mold. Check the fuse box in the engine: There is a fuse box inside the engine; open it to see if there is any sediment inside. Smell for musty odors: Pull the seatbelt all the way out and smell for any musty odor, and check for mold stains. After a car is submerged in water, water can seep into the seatbelt. If the owner is unsure how to proceed, they can seek assistance from a third-party professional vehicle inspection agency to conduct an on-site inspection of the used car.
