Define an accident vehicle by records of structural-component damage; the extent of cosmetic repair does not establish the condition of structural components. Moroccan importers should compare cross-checks of VIN history, physical inspection, title documents, and maintenance records against accident criteria, distinguishing structural damage from cosmetic scratches. A missing database record does not mean the vehicle had no accident or repair. Make the determination on that basis and retain inspection evidence, without relying on a single photo for vehicle history, mileage, or structural condition. How do accident records affect used-car exports from China?.
