• Exterior and interior grading are conducted independently with the Overall grading being a combination of both.
• A maximum of two defects are indicated for a single panel
• The number inside the tyres indicates the tyre housing in mm.
(Maximum is 9mm and minimum is 0mm which means that replacement is required)
• In the case where on the same panel defects exist apart from replacement, one more defect is indicated in addition to XX. |
