What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: Damage documented to the front edge of the vehicle — bumper, grille, lights, hood, front fenders. Causes: frontal collision, obstacle impact.
What to Check in Photos	Carefully assess damage depth: • Gaps between fenders and doors (sign of displacement) • Deformation of bumper, hood, fenders • Condition of lights, grille, decorative elements • Visible radiator, air duct damage • Signs of airbag deployment (steering wheel deformation) Important: Damage depth determines repair scale — from plastic replacement to frame rail restoration.
Damage Levels	Minimal (totaled due to parts cost): bumper, grilles, lights, sensors, distance control systems, air ducts, power steering hoses, cooling systems, decorative elements. Even with minimal collision, new parts cost may exceed totaling threshold. Medium: hood, fender deformation + radiator, intercooler damage. Serious: frame rail, subframe damage — structural defects, frame rack work required. Critical: engine damage — impact reached the motor. Airbags: With frontal impact, high probability of frontal airbag deployment — SRS system replacement required.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Assess damage depth: look at gaps between fenders and doors — sign of frame rail displacement. ✓ Consider parts cost: even minimal damage can be expensive due to sensors and systems. ✓ Check VIN report: repair history helps assess scale. ✓ Study all available photos: especially engine bay and gaps.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: The auction reported mechanical engine damage. This can be either a minor malfunction or a critical power unit failure. Possible Causes: impact to engine bay during accident, overheating, seizure, hydrolock, timing belt failure, oil starvation.
What to Check in Photos	Inspect under-hood area: • Visible engine block damage (cracks, holes) • Oil pan deformation • Oil or coolant leak marks • Damage to accessory equipment (alternator, A/C compressor) • Condition of belts and pulleys Limitation: Internal damage (pistons, crankshaft, camshaft) is not visible in photos.
Typical Problems	Minor: accessory equipment damage, gasket leaks — repairable without engine disassembly. Medium Severity: cylinder head damage, block cracks — requires major overhaul or head replacement. Critical: engine seizure, crankshaft damage, hydrolock with connecting rod destruction — requires engine replacement. Important: Without disassembly and inspection, it is impossible to assess the actual condition of internal parts.
Buyer Risks	Unpredictable Costs: The "ENGINE DAMAGE" mark does not reveal scale — from minor repair to complete unit replacement. Parts Availability: For rare models or imported engines, finding parts may be problematic. Hidden Defects: Even after repair, unresolved problems may remain. Title: Serious engine damage may lead to Salvage Title assignment.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Request detailed diagnostics: compression, cylinder endoscopy, oil check for metal shavings. ✓ Assess economics: sometimes purchasing a used engine is cheaper than major overhaul. ✗ Don't buy without understanding the scale: the vague mark can hide either a minor issue or complete replacement. ⚠️ Check service history: well-maintained engines are easier to restore.

Status	Facts and Risks
Intact (Intact)	Fact: Visually, airbag installation points (steering wheel, dashboard, trim) appear intact. No signs of deployment detected during external inspection. Risk: The inspector does not disassemble the interior. An airbag might be missing (cut out) or replaced with a dummy/resistor under an intact panel.
Deployed (Deployed)	Fact: Deployment of one or more airbags has been recorded. Risk: Carefully study interior photos to identify which specific airbags deployed (steering wheel, curtains, dash). We recommend making your own repair estimate based on visible damage.
Not Verified (Not Verified / Missing)	Fact: Inspector could not access the interior (vehicle locked/no keys) or airbags are dismantled. Risk: Maximum uncertainty. When budgeting, assume the worst-case scenario — complete absence of the safety system.

Metric	Description
ACV (Actual Cash Value)	The estimated market value of the vehicle in the U.S. at the time it was written off by the insurance company. Use: Helps assess the real value of the car before damage.
ERC (Estimated Repair Cost)	The insurer's preliminary estimate of repair costs for the U.S. market. Use: A general indicator for budgeting restoration costs.

Type	Description & Risks
Insurance Company	The most reliable seller type. Vehicles are sold after an insurance claim payout. Usually sold "as is" — without hidden repairs or defect masking before being listed on the insurance auto auction.
Dealer (Reseller)	Sold by an intermediary. Warning: High risk of poor-quality pre-sale repairs (cosmetic cover-ups) to conceal actual damage. An independent inspection is mandatory.
Rental Company	Vehicles from rental fleets. Often repaired at the company's expense (Self-Insured) without being reported to databases. Risk: History reports may show "No Accidents" and a Clean Title, while hiding actual repairs. The price is higher, but the history may be incomplete. Inspection is required.
Not-Insurance (Bank / Private / Other)	Banks, leasing companies, or private parties (Dealer / Reseller). Damage history may not be obvious. A detailed check is recommended; we do not recommend buying without an inspection.
