What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Vauxhall Combo 2300 Edition Td S/S bought as a repairable salvage, assume the mechanical side needs more than the visible accident damage, and pad your repair estimate accordingly.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
