Can a brand-new car be a write-off?


People who don't want to have any issues with the vehicle are considering purchasing a brand-new one, but what if a brand new is not always as new as you might think?

Before the vehicle reaches its final destination - show room, there is a transportation process involved during which a brand new vehicle can be damaged, sometimes its minor damage, sometimes major, but in the most cases it will be repaired so we - the customers won't find out and the price on the vehicle will be the same as one beside it that was never repaired.

We did a pre-purchase car inspection today on Toyota Prius 2014 with only one owner from new and full service history with hybrid battery health check certificates. Inspection results were a big surprise for the owner of the car - the vehicle was already repaired before it was sold brand new for a full price. Please see the inspection results below:

Manufacturing year: 2014 Odometer reading: 109 567 Km Engine: 1.8 Hybrid Gearbox: Automatic Current number of owners: 1 What we found during the pre-purchase car inspection:

  • Front passenger door and rear quarter panel resprayed and repaired

  • Front left wing cosmetic resprayed

  • Rear left door replaced

It's been 9 years now since the car was bought, but from looking at the quality of repairs/ resprays and from talking to the owner of the car, it was clear for us that repairs were done before this car was sold brand new.
