Type	Description
ACTUAL	The odometer reading is believed to be the true and actual mileage of the lot.
EXEMPT	By Federal Law, no odometer code is required to be displayed for this lot.
NOT ACTUAL	The odometer reading does not correctly reflect the mileage of the lot or it cannot be known.
EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS	The true mileage of the lot cannot be expressed because it has exceeded the capacity of the odometer to measure it.

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: Mechanical malfunctions documented without specifying the system. Engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering may be affected. Nature: from minor problems to serious failures.
What to Check in Photos	Photo Limitations: Mechanical malfunctions are rarely visible in static images. Indirect Signs: • Oil, fluid leak marks • Visible suspension damage • Uneven tire wear Important: Without diagnostics, it's impossible to identify the exact problem.
Possible Problems	Minor: consumables replacement, minor repairs. Medium: suspension repair, clutch replacement, brake discs. Serious: engine overhaul, transmission replacement, steering rack repair. Important: The vague "MECHANICAL" mark doesn't provide understanding of problem scale.
Advantages of Such Lots	✓ Intact body: Typically, vehicle without accident — intact geometry, all safety systems, airbags not deployed. ✓ Most often: Engine or transmission fails, which can be fixed by repair or replacement. ✓ Swap possibility: Engine or transmission swap is often economically justified — worth estimating swap cost in your country.
Buyer Risks	Unpredictable Costs: Without diagnostics, it's impossible to estimate repair cost. Parts Availability: For rare models, finding parts may be problematic.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Study all available photos: leak marks, suspension damage, tire wear. ✓ Check VIN report: repair and service history helps assess scale. ✓ Find out "Run & Drive" status: whether vehicle starts, whether it's drivable. ✓ Estimate swap cost: engine or transmission replacement in your country — often economically justified. ⚠️ Budget for repair: costs may be significant, but intact body is an advantage.

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.
