carried out in accordance with an approved Model Report that applied to the vehicle.
Example 3: For paragraph (1)(f)—a vehicle has been subjected to alterations that involved drilling holes in a structural component. Those alterations amounted to damage to the component. However, the alterations consisted of modifications carried out in accordance with an approved Model Report that applied to the vehicle. This would not prevent the holder of an AVV approval from verifying the vehicle.
 (2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the damage or corrosion, or repair of damage or corrosion, has resulted in:
 (a) the splitting of a seam or joint between two panels; or
 (b) the failure of a spot weld.
Example: A road vehicle has sustained damage that resulted in dents to a structural component of 25 millimetres or less in depth, but also resulted in the failure of a spot weld. This level of damage would prevent the holder of an AVV approval from verifying the vehicle.
 (3) The paragraphs of subsection (1) do not limit one another.
Note: Even if one paragraph of subsection (1) provides that damage or corrosion, or repair of damage or corrosion, of a certain kind or a certain extent does not prevent the holder of the AVV approval from verifying a road vehicle or modifications to a road vehicle, the approval-holder may still be prevented from verifying the vehicle or modifications if the type or extent of the damage or corrosion, or repair of damage or corrosion, exceeds the limit in another paragraph.
