Accident history vehicles

Sell your car with accident history in Vancouver

Accidents happen. We still make fair, transparent offers on vehicles with accident or insurance claim history — based on real condition, not just the CARFAX report.

Honesty is always the best approach. When you submit your vehicle, tell us about any past accidents or insurance claims. This lets us assess the car fairly and ensures your offer stays consistent.

We assess the real condition — not just the history report

Many buyers and platforms automatically devalue cars with any accident flag, regardless of whether the repairs were done properly. At Carkuku, we evaluate your vehicle based on its actual current condition — including the quality of repairs, visible damage, structural integrity, and local Vancouver market data.

A minor fender bender with documented, professional repairs is very different from a major collision. We treat them accordingly.

What to disclose in your submission

Any known accidents, collisions, or insurance claims
Estimated total cost of repairs (if known)
Whether repairs were done by a certified shop
Any unrepaired damage that remains
Airbag deployment, if it occurred

Common questions

Do you buy cars with accident history?
Yes. Accident history doesn't disqualify your vehicle. We assess each car individually based on the actual repairs done, documentation, and current condition. Being transparent upfront leads to a smoother process.
Will an accident significantly lower my offer?
It depends on the severity and quality of repairs. Minor accidents with proper documented repairs often have a smaller impact than you might expect. We assess the real condition — not just the history report.
Do I need to disclose all accidents?
Yes — please be upfront about any known accident or insurance claim history when you submit. Disclosing accurately ensures we can provide a fair offer and avoids complications later.
What if I don't know the full accident history?
Share what you know. If you're the second owner or don't have full records, that's okay — just let us know. We'll review the information you provide and proceed accordingly.
