Suppose you had a very slight car accident and a point of the car's door looks as if it's pushed in, something like this



enter image description here



However, without any scratches, just a simple anomaly that can be easily fixed. How do you describe the door?



I came up with:




  1. The car's left door is now a bit deformed

  2. The car's left door is now a bit pushed-in

  3. The car's door looks concave



I am not sure about any of these sentence. Would you help with this?

            It's called a dent (noun). The door is dented (adj). He had a small accident and dented (verb) the door.

              My first thought was “dent”:




              dent

              a small, hollow mark in the surface of something caused by pressure or being hit:

              She ran into my car and put a dent in it.

              (Cambridge Dictionary)




              Briefly, “deformation” suggests to me a manufacturer’s error, not a dent.



              “Pushed in” seems okay to me, but that’s somewhat broad, or not as specific as “dent”.



              “Concave” sounds like a technical observation and not really like damage from an accident.
