Verdict

AI Summary

Rear-ended while stationary. Front bumper, bonnet, and right headlight cluster are visibly damaged. The engine bay shows cosmetic scuffing to the slam panel but no visible structural deformation to the front chassis rails. No airbag deployment, no flood waterline, no evidence of fire. The repair estimate is conservative and CAP Clean for this spec puts resale comfortably above all-in cost. Deal score 74 — passes at current bid.
