Every report opens with a clear read on the car's condition and a single 0–100 score, so you get the verdict first, then the detail if you want it.

The score is calculated from fixed rules applied to the vehicle's own record. Every summary also notes that it reflects historical data only and is not a substitute for a physical inspection.
