Understanding Vehicle Condition Lights

These colored dots appear on each vehicle card in the Marketplace and can help you prioritize which listings to review.

Condition Grade Colors

Color = Meaning

Green

Good overall condition. No significant mechanical or structural issues noted.

Yellow

Minor issues noted. There may be minor mechanical, cosmetic, or disclosure items. Review the Condition Report for details.

Blue

Clean title with no announcements. The vehicle has no disclosed issues or title concerns.

Red

Significant issues noted. There are material, mechanical, structural, or disclosure items that may affect value or drivability. Review the full Condition Report carefully.

What to expect

Multiple colored dots can appear together on a single vehicle card. For example, a vehicle might show both a Blue dot (clean title) and a Yellow dot (minor cosmetic issues). The combination tells you the full condition story at a glance.

These indicators are set by the ACV inspector based on findings during the inspection process. They are not self-reported by the seller. Always open the full Condition Report to see the complete details behind any indicator.
