Category B Insurance Write Off
the vehicle must not be used again but non- structural and roadworthy parts and components may be recovered for use in other vehicles. Care must be taken to ensure that they are not critical components with important safety functions. Again there are several online companies who will offer significant amounts of money for Category B Insurance Write Off vehicles.
But;
Vehicles categorised as A, B or C require a VIC test before the DVLA will issue a new registration document. This will then be noted on the V5C.
And it does say in the ad that this has been done.But this confuses me as if it passes a test then it can be registered and driven?
I would investigate more as to the reason behind the cat B classification.
*EDIT* Having just rerread the listing,it says "Damage/repaired cat B inspected" So,does this mean it's cat D and inspected to a Cat B standard?
cos as rich says,Cat B shouldn't legally be on the road,repaired or not.Needs more and clearer info in the blurb!!
Or am I reading too much and confusing the shizzle out of myself??
