minor damage which does not lead to loss in value
Explanation:
the appraiser is saying that the damage is minor and thus does not lead to a loss of value in the car.

Even if a car is fixed, usually the appraiser assesses a value for depreciation, since a car with an accident is worth less.

Explanation:
I think it is important to keep the notion of the appraiser's perception in the translation, which is expressed by the part "relevant"

more precisely: the part "relevanter" (since the word "relevant" also appears in the sentence, afterwards)
