16  Damage or corrosion checks—has structural integrity been reduced?
 (1) This section applies where no damage or corrosion limit has been determined under section 107 of the Rules.
Note: Where there is no section 107 determination in force, subparagraph 100(1)(b)(iii) of the Rules provides that an AVV must not verify a road vehicle, or modifications of a road vehicle, unless satisfied that the vehicle's structural integrity has not been reduced by damage or corrosion.
 (2) The AVV must:
 (a) complete each damage or corrosion check set out in the verification checklist; and
 (b) record, on the verification checklist, all damage or corrosion found on the vehicle; and
 (c) assess whether the level of damage or corrosion on the vehicle has reduced its structural integrity.
 (3) Where the AVV is satisfied that the level of any damage or corrosion on the vehicle has reduced its structural integrity, it must:
 (a) record on the verification checklist:
 (i) each element of the damage or corrosion on the vehicle; and
 (ii) the reasons for which that element reduces the vehicle's structural integrity; and
 (b) continue to inspect the vehicle, or modifications of the vehicle, in accordance with this instrument.
