Structural integrity

Don't take chances with a warped chassis

A bent or sheared frame is a serious risk. Even after repair, the car will not react properly in a new collision because the deformation zones are damaged.

Checking the official CARFAX report gives you a direct answer as to whether the insurer noted Frame Damage in the last assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is structural damage in CARFAX?

Structural/Frame Damage describes serious damage to the vehicle's structural frame - the chassis, side members, front or rear baskets, and roof pillars. These elements form the safety cage for the occupants, and any damage or straightening to them critically compromises the structural strength and safety of the car in the event of a subsequent collision.

How is frame damage recorded in the US?

These deformations are recorded by several key sources. If a vehicle is certified with Frame Damage at auction (Copart/IAAI), by an insurer in a crash appraisal, or by a certified repair shop, the data is immediately entered into CARFAX as a permanent red marker on the report.

Can a car with structural damage be safe?

Restoring a deformed chassis to factory parameters is extremely complicated and requires expensive equipment (stand). The metal in the impact zone loses its hardness and elasticity, so straightening it reduces its protection. It is strongly recommended to avoid purchasing such vehicles, as their driving behavior is unpredictable.
