    I'd imagine it's something similiar to the Japanese car export grading, where 5 is perfect and 1 is terrible. In that case you'd be aiming for 3.5 and above.

    Nowhere near as scientific as the Jap imports grading. Lots (most) cars not graded at all, and frequently you'd be asking yourself "why is that car a grade 3?". Here is the official Merlin answer:

    Grade 5: Excellent condition. Has had no paintwork. Faultless - ready to retail - no marks no scratches no paintwork - no damage - no repair.

    Grade 4: Very good condition - Has had no paintwork (can have minor marks - scuffs - scratches - near perfect)

    Grade 3: Above average - Has had no paintwork (vehicle has had minor damage - may need a panel repaired or repainted in parts)

    Grade 2: Average - Repainted (vehicle has had body repair or repaint work - and/or has some bodywork to be carried out)

    Grade 1: Poor - Damaged and repaired (vehicle has had previously been damaged and visibly repaired - and/or has some bodywork to be carried out)

    Grade 0: Very Poor - Damaged and not repaired (or vehicle has previously been damaged and has been repaired or repainted badly in parts)

    Most common grade is 2. A 4 is rare and I don't remember ever seeing a 5.
