Live Bid Grading System
Belfast City Auctions grade all vehicles to the
following standards. All vehicles are sold as seen and without any
mechanical warranty.
All tyre conditions and vehicle interiors do not fall
under Belfast City Auctions grading standards.
Grade A
The vehicle is in excellent condition, with only minor or no
defects in panel surfaces, these would not require body or
paintwork, although limited quality repairs may have been
performed. Vehicles are in a condition which is ready to submit for
retail sale, these vehicles will require no remedial work to body
panels, paintwork, interior or glass, & without items/parts
missing. These vehicles would be suitable for sale to a retail
customer.
Grade B
The vehicle is better than average with only minor chips or
scratches in panel surfaces which may require minor body and paint
work or paint dent repair. Vehicles that if some limited minor body
repairs were carried out the cars would then be a grade A, i.e.
minor stone chips, scratches to bumpers/mouldings, removal of minor
dents.
Grade C
The vehicle has normal wear and tear (for example, parking lot
dings, small scratches, chips and/or minor broken parts). It may
require minor conventional body and paintwork or replacement of
parts. Vehicles that will require up to 3 panels that would require
body shop repairs i.e. scratches/scuffs, dents that would not
repair and unsatisfactory repairs that would require refinish.
Grade D
The vehicle shows signs of excessive wear and tear. The body may
have dents, scratches and body panels that require replacement.
Parts may be broken or missing. Vehicles that will require 4 or
more panels to have body shop repairs.
Grade E
The vehicle shows signs of severe abuse or may have sustained
major damage.
