foto&#039;s. Waterschade niet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Als er water in een moderne auto komt, bereikt het plekken die kopers nooit op advertentiefoto&#039;s zien: de kabelbomen en stekkers, de regeleenheden die laag in het interieur of onder de stoelen zitten, de vloerbedekking en de isolatie eronder, en de wiellagers en remmen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Daarna droogt de auto op en ziet hij er weer normaal uit. De schade stopt niet als het water verdwijnt. In de stekkers en bedrading gaat de corrosie door, en weken of maanden later duiken er \u00e9\u00e9n voor \u00e9\u00e9n kleine storingen op: een raam doet het niet meer, een waarschuwingslampje gaat aan en uit, een sensor gaat verkeerd meten.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Zout water is veel erger dan regenwater, omdat het zout het metaal blijft aantasten lang nadat alles droog lijkt.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Tegen de tijd dat een ondergelopen auto voor de veiling wordt gefotografeerd, is het water weg. Wat overblijft is een auto die er schoon en onbeschadigd uitziet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"cars\">Drie ondergelopen auto&#039;s uit onze gegevens<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dcase\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dcase-photos two\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrvin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/flood-cars\/flood-x3-2024-cluster.webp\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" alt=\"Het instrumentenpaneel van de X3 met 8.586 mijl\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrvin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/flood-cars\/flood-x3-2024-frontseat.webp\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" alt=\"De schone achterbank van de X3 van opzij\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dcase-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>2024 BMW X3<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"car-spec\">Amerikaanse schadeautoveiling<span class=\"sep\"><\/span>overstroming<span class=\"sep\"><\/span>Certificate of Destruction uit Florida<span class=\"sep\"><\/span>8.586 mijl<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"dcase-why\">Schone lak, schoon leer en een teller die slechts 8.586 mijl aangeeft.

Bij een elektrische auto gaat waterschade niet alleen over corrosie. De accu brengt een apart en veel ernstiger risico met zich mee.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"florida\">Wat een Certificate of Destruction betekent<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t<p>Als een verzekeraar in Florida een nieuwere auto total loss verklaart en de reparatie 90% of meer van de waarde zou kosten, verklaart de staat dat de auto niet meer opgebouwd mag worden en geeft hij een Certificate of Destruction af.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Met het certificaat mag de auto gedemonteerd of vernietigd worden. De wet in Florida is onomwonden over wat er daarna gebeurt: de staat mag voor die auto geen title meer afgeven. In zijn thuisstaat kan een auto zoals de X3 hierboven nooit meer legaal de weg op.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Dat houdt export niet tegen. Een Europees kentekenbewijs heeft geen veld voor een Amerikaanse title-aantekening, dus nergens op de nieuwe papieren staat overstroming. De geschiedenis leeft alleen voort in de gegevens die aan het VIN gekoppeld zijn.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"pullquote\">In Florida kan hij nooit meer de weg op. Dat houdt niet tegen dat hij ergens anders naartoe wordt verscheept.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"ev\">Waarom een ondergelopen elektrische auto een groter risico is<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t<p>Zout water en een geladen lithium-ion-accu zijn een gevaarlijke combinatie.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Toen orkaan Ian in 2022 Florida trof, werden tussen de 3.000 en 5.000 elektrische auto&#039;s getroffen. Volgens de Amerikaanse verkeersveiligheidsinstantie NHTSA werden er 600 total loss verklaard en vlogen er later 36 in brand. NHTSA heeft gewaarschuwd dat accubranden kunnen ontstaan weken nadat een auto in zout water heeft gestaan.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>Deze branden zijn bovendien moeilijk te blussen. In \u00e9\u00e9n geval na Ian had een brandweerwagen binnen tien minuten geen water meer bij \u00e9\u00e9n enkele brandende auto, die later opnieuw in brand vloog.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"takeaway\">\n\t\t\t\t<b>Conclusie<\/b>\n\t\t\t\tKoop nooit een elektrische auto met een overstroming in de geschiedenis. De accu is het duurste onderdeel van de auto en het moeilijkst te beoordelen als er water in is gekomen, en de schade is van buitenaf niet te zien.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"check\">Uw tien minuten met de auto<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Controleer het VIN voordat u naar de auto gaat kijken. Waterschade-aantekeningen op de title en veilingfoto&#039;s blijven in de gegevens staan, ook als de huidige papieren er schoon uitzien.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Doe de deuren dicht en ruik in het interieur. Een vochtige of muffe geur, schimmel of een sterke luchtverfrisser moeten vragen oproepen.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Til de vloerbedekking en de kofferbakvloer op en controleer de reservewielkuip. Slib, zand, watervlekken of een waterlijn horen niet in een droge auto.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Bekijk de stoelrails, de stoelbouten en de pedaalbak. Roest op die plekken bij een jonge auto betekent dat er water in is gekomen.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Controleer de koplampen en achterlichten op condens of een waterlijn aan de binnenkant van het glas.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Test elke elektrische functie, en test ze allemaal meer dan \u00e9\u00e9n keer: ramen, stoelen, spiegels, verlichting, schermen, sensoren en airco. Waterschade uit zich in storingen die komen en gaan.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Wees voorzichtig als een oudere auto wordt geleverd met gloednieuwe vloerbedekking of nieuwe stoelhoezen.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Let op tekenen dat de auto uit de Verenigde Staten komt: een sticker in de deurstijl die vermeldt dat hij voldoet aan de Amerikaanse federale veiligheidsnormen, oranje zijreflectoren of een snelheidsmeter in mijlen. Geen daarvan bewijst een overstroming, maar elk ervan is een reden om meer vragen te stellen over de geschiedenis van de auto.<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"vin\">Zo controleert u het waterschadeverleden van een auto via het VIN<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t<p>U vindt het VIN onderaan de voorruit aan de bestuurderskant, op de sticker in de deurstijl aan de bestuurderskant en op het kentekenbewijs. Een MrVIN-controle laat zien:<\/p>\n\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Geschiedenis op Amerikaanse schadeautoveilingen, inclusief het vastgelegde type schade en veilingfoto&#039;s als die er zijn.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Schadegegevens en verzekeringsclaims.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Elke vastgelegde kilometerstand, met de datum en het land.<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<li>Eerdere registratiegeschiedenis.<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"endnote\">Een overstroming die nooit bij een verzekeraar is gemeld en nooit op een veiling is verschenen, laat geen enkel spoor in de gegevens na, dus geen enkele VIN-controle kan beloven dat een auto nooit onder water heeft gestaan. Wat een controle wel kan, is u de overstromingen laten zien die zijn vastgelegd, en elke auto op deze pagina is onderweg ergens vastgelegd.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"promo promo-xl\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"promo-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"promo-main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"promo-ic\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"10.5\" cy=\"10.5\" r=\"7\"\/><path d=\"m7.6 10.6 2.1 2.1 3.9-4.3\"\/><path d=\"m15.6 15.6 4.4 4.4\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"promo-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"promo-eyebrow\">Voordat u een prijs afspreekt<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"promo-h\">Ontdek of de auto onder water heeft gestaan<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"promo-sub\">Veiling-, schade-, kilometer- en importgegevens uit 30+ landen, in \u00e9\u00e9n rapport, binnen een minuut.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"promo-trust\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"8.5\"\/><path d=\"M3.5 12h17\"\/><path d=\"M12 3.5c2.3 2.4 3.4 5.3 3.4 8.5s-1.1 6.1-3.4 8.5c-2.3-2.4-3.4-5.3-3.4-8.5S9.7 5.9 12 3.5Z\"\/><\/svg><span>30+ landen<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"8.5\"\/><path d=\"M12 7v5.3l3.4 2\"\/><\/svg><span>Binnen een minuut<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M13.5 3.5h-6a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v13a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h9a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8.5Z\"\/><path d=\"M13.5 3.5V8.5h5\"\/><path d=\"M9 13.4h6M9 16.4h4\"\/><\/svg><span>Volledig PDF-rapport<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"promo-btn\" href=\"#vincheck\" data-go=\"vincheck\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3.5 17v-4.1l1.7-4.2a2 2 0 0 1 1.9-1.2h9.8a2 2 0 0 1 1.9 1.2l1.7 4.2V17\"\/><path d=\"M4 12.9h16\"\/><circle cx=\"7.6\" cy=\"17\" r=\"1.7\"\/><circle cx=\"16.4\" cy=\"17\" r=\"1.7\"\/><\/svg><span>Controleer een VIN<\/span><svg class=\"pb-arrow\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h13\"\/><path d=\"m12.5 6.4 6 5.6-6 5.6\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<p class=\"promo-alt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrvin.com\/nl\/sample-report\/\"><span>Twijfelt u nog?
