Visual observation, not a confirmed fact.

What a buyer or inspector should check

• Check the rear quarter panels, rear body panel, trunk floor and rear reinforcement bar for bends: both rear corners look deformed in photos 3, 4 and 13.
• Inspect the front crash mounts, radiator support and headlight mounts, and confirm the front reinforcement bar is present, because it is not visible in photos 1 and 7.
• Confirm that all removed parts (photo 9) come with the car and are undamaged, including both mirrors and the door trim panels.
• Check the left rear door dent and the marked areas on the doors (photos 2, 4 and 8).
• Read the fault codes behind the warning lights in photo 6, and check the loose wiring and connectors hanging at the rear in photo 13.
• Check the title and full history report, and confirm the VIN matches the paperwork (the door label in photo 10 matches the recorded VIN).

What the photos cannot show

• Frame or unibody alignment
• How much front impact damage lies behind the removed parts
• Why the door trim panels and mirrors were removed
• Whether any airbag deployed (the steering-wheel airbag cover appears intact)
• Engine, transmission and electrical condition
• Flood or water exposure
• Whether the displayed mileage is accurate
