Major damage describes the most affected area of the car, while minor damage describes secondary cosmetic or structural defects.

Question 3

What does Run & Drive status and the presence of keys mean, and what are the risks?

Accepted Answer

This vehicle is rated with a technical running status of " Probably not running " and is recorded as with keys available . The "Run & Drive" status means that when the vehicle entered the auction, it was started, shifted into gear and moved under its own power for a short distance. This reduces the risk of severe transmission damage, but does not guarantee the engine's technical condition during prolonged driving. Having keys makes logistics easier, but there is a risk that they will be lost during transportation, for which we always recommend insurance.
