Hi,
I have an AA Vehicle History Report for a car I am interested in buying. It is apparently a new import and is flagged in your report as having been imported as a damaged vehicle. Could someone please advise how I would go about finding out what the nature of this damage would have been and how I could know how severe or risky this may be?
Thank you

Hi there,
It's best to have the vehicle inspected by a panel beater and they can comment on the nature of previous repairs and give recommendations.
A previously damage car is not always bad, as long as the seller is not hiding it and the vehicle is priced accordingly. You don't want to pay the same price as one without this kind of history.
