I've bought a Category C write off, is there a way to check the damage history?

I've bought a Category C write off. Is there a way to check how much damage was actually done?

No, there is not. Buying a Cat C vehicle without checking is not a wise thing to do. I advise people against buying previous total losses unless they know the damage. If you had to buy one, always get it inspected prior to purchase. Were you aware that it was a total loss prior to purchase? If not, you may be able to take legal action against the seller.
