CCC Total Loss Valuation: How to Read & Audit CCC ONE Reports

Last Updated: August 2026
Source: CCC Intelligent Solutions Report Architecture & State DOI Standards
Direct Answer Summary

A CCC ONE valuation report contains 4 primary sections: (1) Loss Vehicle Information (VIN, trim, odometer, options); (2) Base Vehicle Value & Condition Scorecard (where adjusters deduct for wear); (3) Comparable Vehicles Matrix (sampled dealer listings); and (4) Settlement Breakdown (Actual Cash Value plus sales tax and licensing fees minus deductible). Inspecting sections 1 and 2 for missing trim packages and unverified condition deductions is where the largest adjustments occur.

The 4 Key Sections on Every CCC ONE Report

1 Vehicle Identification & Options Matrix

Verify that your sub-model and trim code are exact. Compare the listed options against your original window sticker (Monroney label). If options like alloy wheels, blind-spot monitoring, or heated seats are omitted, note each item for the dispute package.

2 Condition Adjustment Matrix

CCC categorizes vehicle condition across 6 to 8 sub-categories (Sheet Metal, Paint, Glass, Dashboard, Upholstery, Tires). If the adjuster marked components "Fair" or "Poor", check if deductions were applied. Provide maintenance records and pre-loss photos to contest unjustified condition penalties.

3 Comparable Vehicles Sampled

Review the distance and location of every sampled comparable vehicle. If the report selected vehicles from distant metropolitan areas or lower-priced regions, gather 3 to 6 active listings from dealers in your immediate county or metro area.

4 Taxes, Mandatory Fees & Net Settlement

Verify that state and local sales tax and title transfer fees appear on the gross settlement line before the collision deductible is subtracted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CCC ONE Market Valuation Report?

A CCC ONE Market Valuation Report is an appraisal summary generated by CCC Intelligent Solutions used by auto insurance companies to determine the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of a totaled vehicle based on dealer inventory listings, mileage adjustments, and condition ratings.

How do I obtain a copy of my CCC ONE valuation report?

Ask your insurance claims adjuster directly for the "complete, unredacted third-party market valuation report and comparable vehicle sheets." Insurers are legally required to provide this under state unfair claims settlement practice regulations.

What does "Dealer Take Price" mean on a CCC report?

Take price (or projected sold adjustment) is a percentage reduction applied to dealer asking prices based on CCC's statistical model of consumer price negotiations. In many markets, policyholders successfully dispute this if local dealers confirm cars sell at advertised prices without negotiation.

How do I spot missing factory options on a CCC ONE report?

To spot missing factory options, compare the "Vehicle Options & Equipment" section of your CCC report line-by-line against your original window sticker (Monroney label), purchase invoice, or factory build sheet by VIN lookup.

Why does CCC ONE sample comparable vehicles from distant cities?

Valuation software algorithms expand their search radius up to 100+ miles when identical trims with similar mileage are scarce locally. However, state DOI regulations typically require adjusters to prioritize comps within your immediate local geographic market.
