Diminished value (also known as diminution in value) is the market value that your vehicle loses when it is involved in an accident. Many times, a vehicle is repaired to a very high standard and you cannot tell that it has suffered previous damage. However, the vehicle will have a Carfax report or other vehicle history report, which shows that the vehicle has suffered prior damage. After being damaged, the vehicle is now worth less on the open market. When the vehicle is traded-in or sold to a private party, you will receive less money. This is diminished value.

3 Types of Diminished Value

You may be wondering why your car loses value, even if it was repaired. Well, there are three different types of diminished value:

1. Inherent diminished value - vehicle loses value because it was in an accident and now has a tarnished accident history

2. Repair-related diminished value - vehicle loses value because it wasn't repaired perfectly

3. Immediate diminished value - vehicle loses value immediately after an accident and before any repairs are made
