Example

What an assessment looks like

Seven photos of the front of a grey used car. This is what we look for, and how it later reads in your assessment.

  1. Panel gaps and colour – Front left wing and bumper01 / 07Unremarkable
    Front left wing and bumper

    Panel gaps and colour

    We compare the gaps between wing, bumper and headlight and check colour and gloss. Everything looks even here. The listing photo looks exactly like this.

  2. Cracked paint – Edge between headlight and bumper02 / 07Conspicuous
    Edge between headlight and bumper

    Cracked paint

    Right at the edge of the headlight the paint has split. From a normal distance you hardly notice it.

  3. Blue paint in the crack – The same spot up close03 / 07Conspicuous
    The same spot up close

    Blue paint in the crack

    There is blue paint in the crack. It does not belong to the grey factory finish and points to a repainted or replaced part.

  4. Hairline cracks in the paint – Front left wing04 / 07Check closer
    Front left wing

    Hairline cracks in the paint

    Fine cracks along an edge often appear when there is body filler under the paint. A paint thickness reading confirms or rules this out.

  5. Bolts have been undone – Engine bay, headlight bracket05 / 07Conspicuous
    Engine bay, headlight bracket

    Bolts have been undone

    Untouched bolts show no tool marks. These do: the bracket or the headlight has been removed.

  6. Label and housing – Headlight, rear side06 / 07Check closer
    Headlight, rear side

    Label and housing

    Manufacturer, approval mark and production date show whether the headlight is original and matches the car’s age. The housing is also cracked next to the mounting point.

  7. Bent metal – Under the front end07 / 07Conspicuous
    Under the front end

    Bent metal

    A mounting bracket is bent and torn. This is what metal looks like after absorbing an impact. It was neither straightened nor replaced.

Assessment · example

Front-left damage, only partly repaired

The front left was damaged. Headlight and bracket had been removed, the repair shows in the paint, and a metal part underneath is still deformed.

Our recommendation

Renegotiate or walk away

If the car is advertised as accident-free, we advise against it. Otherwise only with a clear price reduction and after the repair has been checked on a lift.

You decide. If you wish, we ask the seller for repair invoices and negotiate the price in Polish.
