The repairsLow confidence
Nothing to repair could be seen.Only a single front three-quarter photo is available, and it shows a straight, tidy Polo Vivo with no visible body or glass damage; no auction notes on mechanical condition were supplied, so the engine, gearbox, tyres, interior and underside are unseen and nothing can be costed for them.
Each repair’s “used” figure is the middle of its range. Fees, transport and licensing are in the box above, not here. An AI model’s reading of photos is not an inspection — view the car before you bid.
