A bill before the National Assembly would make used-car dealers who conceal flood damage liable for up to three times a buyer’s loss. The proposal arrives as vehicles damaged during summer downpours begin re-entering the second-hand market, where insurance records do not catch every flooded car.

Car365 offers five free vehicle-history checks, but cars without own-damage insurance can still fall outside those databases. Buyers therefore gain a stronger potential remedy, while inspection and record checks remain important before purchase.
