What does "Auction Verification" mean specifically for "Runs and Drives" or "Engine Start" labels?

"Runs and Drives" means staff at the storage facility were able to start the vehicle and move it under its own power for a short distance. "Engine Start" is a step below that — the engine turns over and runs, but the vehicle wasn't tested for actual drivability (it may not shift, steer properly, or move safely). Both are point-in-time checks performed at intake, not a guarantee of condition on the day you pick the vehicle up.
