To be checked3
!Impact reached the bottom of the A-pillar at the door hinges — whether the pillar and side member end are intact is not confirmed from the photosphotos ,
!Suspension damage declared; power steering warning, ESC and tyre pressure lights lit on the dashboard — diagnostics and suspension inspection neededphotos
!Puddle under the front, low washer fluid warning on the instrument panel — probably the washer fluid reservoir, but a coolant leak is not ruled outphotos ,
Checked, fine2
✓Airbags not deployed, steering wheel and dashboard intact, interior cleanphotos ,
✓Engine running (READY, 07); engine bay, right side and rear intactphotos , ,
With the driver's door open — on the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors), by the door lock. Usually black or white, with “MFD BY” at the top. Next to it there is a yellow-and-white tyre pressure placard — that is another plate, not needed for registration.

VEHICLE SAFETY AND THEFT PREVENTION STANDARDS…
53VVXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TYPE: MPV
1The manufacturer and the month of manufacture.
2GVWR — the gross vehicle weight rating.
3GAWR — the front and rear axle ratings (with the tyres stated).
4The manufacturer's statement that the car complies with the US federal safety standards (FMVSS). This sentence is the certification.
5VIN — must match the VIN under the windscreen and in the documents — and the vehicle type.
Why it matters
A US car has no European certificate of conformity (CoC), so before registration in Lithuania it goes through a technical expertise (individual approval). It takes the date of manufacture and the permitted weights from this label. In Latvia, the CSDD asks for it too.
If it is missing
A replacement label can usually be ordered by VIN only through the make's US representative — the European ones have no access to that system. It takes time and delays registration. Copies from the internet will not do: they are not the manufacturer's.

Four numbers the deal is measured by: what to bid, what it will cost landed and cleared, what — with the repair, and what would be left after selling it in Lithuania. Worked out by the same estimate we buy by ourselves.
