visible damage
Noticeable wear or breakage
Visible damage is harm or deterioration that can be seen with the naked eye.
The phrase appears frequently in insurance claims, property inspections, and shipping contexts, where it distinguishes obvious defects from hidden or internal problems: The package arrived with no visible damage.
The qualifier visible often implies that other damage may exist beneath the surface.
