Insurance Cat D - Motormark
Can anybody advise. If a car is advertised as Cat D registered, I assume this means a note has been placed on its insurance records that car is subject to Cat D and will show up in future sales checks.
Can it be removed with an engineers report and inspection? I have seen a car I like but am concerned about resale.

Thanks

Not sure if anything mentioned in the following thread helps at all?

My car was written off by my insurers as category D (beyond economical repair). I decided to repair it my self, at a fraction of the bodyshops estimate. So I bought it back off my insurers, less the log book. Did the repair work, and had it inspected (Vehicle Identity Check "VIC") at a Vehicle Inspectorate station (VOSA), approx £30.

I got a new log book issued, with an entry about it being accident/damaged/repaired. I saved a packet, knew its full service history, and I didn't plan to sell it (ie drive it to the ground.). Its still paying for its own upkeep!

Beware of buying cars from 3rd party sources, always check with DVLA/VOSA about its current status. They can verify whether it is actually a write off and category etc. Check out the following for more info...

Correction... my car wa a category C write off. Cat D write-offs dont require a VIC check.

Once a car has been written off it will always be registered as cat c/d write off.
