Looking at a Honda Pilot with "Structural Damage" - Possible Purchase but have questions

Hi all,

I am going to look at a 2023 Honda Pilot (50K miles) for $27K today. After looking at the Carfax, I saw that an accident had been reported. This is what it says:

Damage Report Structural damage disclosed by seller based on results of a visual inspection

• Accident reported: minor to moderate damage
  • Vehicle hit while parked
  • Damage to right rear
  • Vehicle towed
  • Airbags did not deploy
  • Vehicle sold (Structural damage may impact vehicle safety and reliability. Get the unibody or frame of the vehicle inspected by a professional.)

The vehicle has been for sale since 12/19/2024. It seems like the accident happened when it was brand new. As it was reported on 5/16, and then the title was issued on 5/21 with 27 miles on it.

Can you help me make sense of this?
