What is vehicle depreciation?
Vehicle depreciation is the drop in value that a vehicle repaired after an accident suffers on the second-hand market compared with undamaged equivalents. The vehicle's damage record creates distrust in the eyes of buyers, so the vehicle sells below its market value. This difference can be claimed from the insurer of the party at fault.

For a sound calculation, the following information must be entered in full:
- The vehicle's make, model and model year
- Accident date and damaged areas
- Mileage at the time of the accident
- Pre-repair and post-repair appraisal reports

- Post-accident repair invoices
Tip
The appraisal report and repair invoices increase the accuracy of the calculation. Pre-accident photographs of the vehicle and market value research are also useful.
