What is the definition of mechanical damage, and what does it cover?

The ‘MC – Mechanical’ code indicates the presence of mechanical issues in a vehicle. This can include a range of problems, from engine troubles to malfunctioning transmissions or other vital mechanical components. Mechanical damage or defects are defined as any harm to a vehicle’s parts that makes it unusable, except for issues related to routine maintenance items. For a more comprehensive understanding of this and other damage codes used at auto auctions, be sure to read our detailed blog post, “Understanding Damage Codes: A Buyer’s Guide to Auto Auctions“. This guide will help you assess vehicle conditions more accurately during your decision-making process.
