I get what you're saying, but using the Mini as an example was a poor choice. Those used to crab even without accident damage

it is very hidden in the blurb though!

I had an Alfa 156 which was hpi clear yet when I went to sell it someone told me it was flagging as a cat C and I should have said that on the advert!

After a lot of digging transpires it had water damage at port and the interior was replaced but the insurance company didn't Mark it as a cat c for years after.

After many letters and getting the insurance regulator involved the company that marked it as a cat c bought it off me for a great price which A shut me up and B gave me enough cash for a deposit and thus buy a brand new Leon cupra R 225.

The funny bit is if you google the reg my pictures posted in this thread appear right next to those of the advert.

Minis used to crab coming out of the factory...
Also later on in life when the subframe collapsed due to rust and had to have a replacement fitted. It wasn't often that the rear subframes were re aligned correctly.
