About imperfections

Imperfections are minor blemishes in the body condition of a car. The number of imperfections will vary based on what sort of life the car has had so far.

We want you to know about imperfections before you buy so we disclose them. We document any imperfection visible at eye-level standing 1 metre from the car.

Imperfections are shown in the 'Imperfections' section on each car page.
Any curb rash, the unfortunate outcome of wheel-meets-curb, will be visible from the main photo set.
