Water Damage Sample

This vehicle is reported to have been damaged significantly by water, the sort of damage you might expect from a car involved in a flood or hurricane.

Report Summary

The Report Summary provides general information about the vehicle, the vehicle's AutoCheck Score and whether the vehicle qualifies for Buyback Protection. The vehicle's history is summarized for each report section. A green check mark icon means no problems have been reported. A blue letter "i" means there is information to report. A red exclamation point "!" means a problem was reported. This vehicle has reported water damage, noted by the red exclamation point in "Title and ProblemCheck."

Title and ProblemCheck

The large exclamation point icon indicates that this vehicle has reported water damage. The description is also highlighted in yellow.

OdometerCheck

Even though the title is branded as a water damaged vehicle, no problems showed up in the OdometerCheck.

Use and EventCheck

An accident was reported, probably due to the water damage. The vehicle was also used as a fleet, rental or lease vehicle. Remember that it is always a good idea to have the vehicle inspected prior to purchase, especially if a vehicle is reported to have been involved in an accident.

Full History

The water damage issue is highlighted in the Full History. It's important to note that if a title has been "washed," meaning it has been issued a clean title even though it was branded previously, the water damage title brand won't show up on the paper title and you could end up purchasing a seriously damaged vehicle. You can avoid this by running an AutoCheck vehicle history report!
