Condition	What it means
Flawless	No scratches or scuffs anywhere. Screen and body look like new. Fully working, no cracks.
Good	Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working.
Fair	Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working.
Cracked screen	Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works.
Broken	Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID).
Won't power on	Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts.

At inspection

Common Motorola Edge (2021) issues we check at inspection

Screen scratches and micro-abrasions. The Gorilla Glass 3 on the front is prone to scratching with everyday use, especially if not using a screen protector.
Battery health significantly degraded. The 5000mAh battery, while large, will show significant wear after 2-3 years, often falling below 80% health, leading to shorter usage times.
Minor cosmetic damage to plastic frame/back. The plastic build materials can develop scuffs, scratches, or minor dents from drops or regular handling.
Water damage indicator triggered (IP52). While rated IP52 for splash resistance, prolonged exposure or submersion can lead to internal corrosion or component failure, often indicated by a triggered water damage sticker.
Fingerprint sensor unresponsiveness. The under-display fingerprint sensor can become less reliable or stop working due to software glitches or hardware wear.
USB-C charging port issues. Lint accumulation or wear on the USB-C port can lead to slow charging, intermittent connection, or failure to charge.
