Flood damaged cars up for sale

According to recent media reports, cars that were damaged by summer floods in the UK and then written off by insurance companies could be reappearing for resale as normal used cars .

Damage from something like flooding is harder to spot than that caused by something like a car crash, but being shrewd can make all the difference in buying a genuine used car and a dud. AA Insurance recently put forward a list of methods to spot damage.

Flooded cars could face all kinds of problems, such as damaged catalytic converters and exhausts, as well as dodgy brakes and alternators. All electrical components of the car can also be damaged.

AA insurance say to look out for damp and cover-up tactics, as well as a whitish deposit under the oil filler cap. A vehicle data check can make all the difference, as could a vehicle inspection .
