Inquiry of integrated maintenance history in used car 365
What should I do if I suspect a flooded car when buying a used car? In this case, it may be helpful for both the seller and the buyer to visit a nearby vehicle service center for inspection.
In addition, even if the fact of flooding is not disclosed at the time of the used car contract, if the fact of flooding is revealed later, there is a way for the buyer to include a special agreement to receive compensation, so please refer to it.
In addition, through a site called ‘Car 365’, you can check the maintenance history of the car to be purchased, so you can predict whether it will be flooded. However, a fee may be attached for inquiry.

Why flooding is a problem
The biggest reason flooded vehicles are a problem is safety. If water enters the transmission due to flooding, it can cause a major safety problem. Most muddy water gets into the car when flooded, so even when the water dries, there is a high probability that mud dust will remain in the transmission. This can damage the oil and cause leaks. In addition, recently sold vehicles are equipped with many electronic control devices, which can cause malfunctions due to contact with water during the flooding process.
In addition, the odor problem is a typical problem of flooded vehicles, and vehicle corrosion may occur in invisible places.
