3. Can I buy a vehicle with write-off?

Created by Car Analytics, Modified on Wed, 27 Mar 2024 at 11:55 AM by Car Analytics

Our report indicates a write-off marker when a vehicle has been involved in an accident / damaged.


Write-off details are categorized in following categories - 


Cat A - can never be repaired or sold for parts

Cat B - severely damaged that the repairs are impossible.

Cat C/S - You need to remember the cost of repair is more than the value of the vehicle, and you have to re-register with the DVLA before taking it on the road.

Cat D/N - It has sustained non-structural damage that might have compromised its security. You can buy this car if the repairs made are satisfactory.


Note: If you would like to know more about the extent of damage,images etc., or insurance history; please contact the insurance provider referring to the V5C logbook. The insurance companies generally do not share these details with us.


You can buy a write off vehicle based upon the damage occurred and repairs made are satisfactory by thoroughly examining it. First check if a car has been written off.
