Vehicle Diagram
XXPanels have been replaced due to repairs and / or painted.
W Wavy
Can mean the affected panel has been painted, and the paint is not as smooth as the original factory paint.
However, in some cases even when marked with a W it is impossible to tell with the naked eye whether paintwork has been done.
Auction staff can make mistakes also, and mark panels W when they are uncertain. W or W1, W2 and W3 are used, with 1 being least noticeable.
AScratch
A1 is a tiny scratch, and generally you would expect this to buff out or be an easy touch up.
A2 is a medium scratch through the top layer of paint, and won’t easily be hidden.
A3 is a deep scratch such as a serious scrape or intentional key mark, and will definitely require paintwork if you want to fully address it.
U Pin dent
Only a small dent such as you would pick up in the carpark.
U1 to U4 are used to denote the size of the dent, with 1 being the smallest.
BLarger dents
These are more serious than pin dents. They are quite noticeable dents and range from B1 to B4.
GChip
You might see a G, X or even an A marked on the windscreen. This usually indicates a small stone chip or scratch and often these are quite small, the size of a pin head or so, and not easily visible.
They are the sort of things most cars pick up through normal use and if you see them noted it doesn’t mean the windscreen needs replacing.
YCracks
Y1 to Y4. Usually in bodykits or lights and often not a major issue as repair or replacement is fairly simple.
PPaint damage
P1 to P4. Fading, scratches or discolouration from sun damage, polishing, peeling, crazing or poor paintwork.
S / CRust / Corrosion
S and C1 to C4 are generally used.
An S or C1 on the body can mean a small stone chip has some surface rust or there is a spot of rust on the edge of a sunroof which might be easily addressed.
In other cases S noted in the negative comments section could indicate extensive underbody rust. C indicated on the wheel arches is a sign there is serious corrosion due to use in snowy areas.
Apa yang anda perlu pastikan adalah kereta yang ingin di beli adalah bukan kereta bergred “R”.
