Write Off Categories - Simple Guide For Motorists (Includes a Car Write Off Check).
For drivers to understand write off categories, there is a text guide to accompany this video. Head over to www.carveto.co.uk/write-off-categories/ for up to date salvage categories and to check if a car is written off.
Video content overview:
0:00 Write off categories explained
0:40 Car write off report
2:00 Salvage codes
2:10 Category A: Scrap
2:59 Category B: Break
3:45 Category S: Structural Damage (previously Cat C)
4:52 Category N: Non-Structural Damage (previously Cat D)
If you are buying a used car privately, a car history report is recommended to check possible insurance category damage, theft, mileage fraud or current finance agreements. These factors can impact vehicle safety and value. You will need a car registration number to access a free report at www.carveto.co.uk/car-history-check/freecarcheck/
Perhaps you need more information due to a recent accident? In this case, your insurer will inspect your car and determine if it is economical to repair and get back on the road.
Flood and fire damage can also render a car with category write off.
Or you may have learned that your car has recorded damage, and you believe the status is inaccurate. The Motor Insurance and Anti Fraud Theft Register (MIAFTR) are responsible for tagging written off cars. If you want more information or support, contact our team by email: contact@carveto.co.uk
Notes about write-off category status
It reduces car value as fewer motorists are willing to buy or drive a car that’s previously written-off.
Cat A and Cat B cars must be scraped and are not permitted to be on the road.
Cat S and Cat N cars are allowed on the road after professional repairs with an update to date MOT certificate.
Write off markers are permanent and displayed in a vehicle identity check (even after professional repair), and you need to declare your car as a write off if you choose to sell.
Insuring a write off tends to be expensive, and not all companies are willing to provide cover.
DVLA must be notified when vehicle status changes: www.gov.uk/written-off-vehicle

    Hi,I 've bought a car about six weeks ago .I 've got the new keeper slip and I've taxed and insured the car on my name.I am planing to go to Europe but I did not receive the V5 yet. After 4 weeks of ownership I have filled a V62 FORM and sent it with the payment to the DVLA and kept the new owner slip with me just in case. DVLA said that I will receive the logbook within six weeks:it's been 2 weeks so far without receiving it. Can I use just the new keeper slip to travel in Europe if I don't receive the logbook in time? Many thanks

    Hi, with the online process your completely at the mercy of the seller to input the correct ‘sale date‘ without being able to check/confirm it’s correct so backdating is easily done and therefore the ‘vehicle acquired ‘ date on the front of your new v5c you get through the post is the incorrect date also,leading to many headaches and stress when tickets/fines etc start turning up in your name because your registered as keeper of the vehicle, massive loophole in the DVLA system that needs fixing in my opinion Thanks
