After reading this information sheet, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify basic vehicle components
Introduction of basic vehicle components
The automobile can be considered to consist of five basic components : (a) The Engine or
Power Plant : It is the source of power. (b) The Frame and Chassis : It supports the engine,
wheels, body, braking system, steering, etc. (c) The transmission which transmits power from the
engine to the car wheels.

How to check vehicle body
Car accidents happen hundreds of times every day, and sometimes cars are repaired under-the-
table without having been reported. Some cars get squashed while others are sold for scrap, but
there are also those that can get repaired and put back on the used car market. For this, it’s
important to know some methods to check a used vehicle to see if it has been in an accident.
The ability to assess past damage can help you determine the real value of a car to further
determine whether or not those damages can have an effect on the car in the future, and also, most
importantly, it can help you determine whether the car is safe or not. Here are a few simple ways you
can inspect a car for past accidents and damages using nothing more than some investigative
prowess and a couple of your senses.
Method 1 of 1: Use a car report and thoroughly check the vehicle for anything that
doesn’t seem right in the paint and the body
Step 1: You should always check the Carfax report first. When you go car shopping at a
dealership, they should have an up-to-date report on hand for you to look over. If you’re buying a
car privately, the seller may not have a report. Either request one, or get one yourself. This report
will

show you a complete documented history of the vehicle in question including claims, accident
reports, maintenance, lien information, fleet, flood damage, odometer tampering, and more. This
report can give you a great idea of what to look for if you go to see the vehicle. Paint from the
factory is almost always smooth because it’s done by a machine, and it’s impossible for a person to
replicate it. If you see some textural differences in the paint (usually from sandpaper), you will
probably be able to feel them, too. If there are rough spots from paint or body filler (or both), this
requires further inspection and questioning.

Step 4: Check for overspray. If you see and feel rough paint, open the doors and check for
overspray. There is never overspray on a new vehicle because the parts are painted before they’re
assembled. If you see paint on the plastic trim or wiring, it is possible evidence of body repair.
Step
5: Check under hood. Check under the hood and look at the bolts that connect the hood to
the hinges, and the fenders to the body. The bolts should be completely covered in paint, and there
should be no marks. If paint is missing, it’s likely that the car was repaired.

Step 6: Check the body panels and see how they fit together. Are they flush with the
doors and frame? Are either of the bumpers loose? If anything seems offset, there is a
good chance repairs were done. The best thing to do in this scenario is to check the
opposite side for differences. If both sides do not match, this is an obvious sign of
repairs.
Step 7: Check the windshield, and all the other windows, as well. Are they chipped,
cracked, or is there any webbing? How well do the side windows fit into the frame
when they’re rolled up? Anything other than a perfect fit could be a sign that there was
an accident.

Step 8:
Another good inspection is to check the lines of the car. The body lines must be
perfectly straight, and the best way to check them is to squat down to inspect them at
eye-level. Look for dents or bumps that indicate body work was done, or that dents were
hammered out.

Step 9:
Check the car for rust. A little bit of rust on the body is sometimes not a big deal, but
once the corrosion process begins, it’s very difficult to stop. Check for areas under the
car and around the edges where rust might exist. If you see signs of repair from rust
damage it will be obvious and very rough. In some cases, you might even see very thin
metal or holes.

Step 10: Check to see if the car was flooded. Any flooded vehicle should show up on a
vehicle history report, but in the case that an insurance claim wasn’t reported, make sure
you know what to look out for.
Even if the car looks good and runs well, open the door and look at the mesh of the
speakers, usually toward the bottom of the door. Any discolor might be from dirty water
stains. Another way to confirm this is to remove a piece of the center console trim and
check behind it. If there is a mark with a clear line, this indicates murky water and
obvious flood damage. A car in this state should always be avoided.
