cat d car???

[stompin-sarah]

my car is category d.... was done in 2004....

however should it have this wrote on the logbook somewhere cos its not on mine??

[Marshy]

Only Cat C shows on a V5 log book, because the car needs a VIC (vehicle identity check) to regain use on the road

Cat D cars only require a new MOT after repair so this does not show on a V5, although it will most likely show on a HPI check

[BenSilverSaxo]

You gonna tell the new owner?

[stompin-sarah]

ahh right thanks very much and yeah it does come up on a check... but was just sat wondering why it wasnt on the log book!

[stompin-sarah]

You gonna tell the new owner?



im not selling my baby! but if the time does ever come then of course i would tell them!

I heard you could get a Cat D removed from HPi checks for a fee.

is cat d not the lowest form of wreckage ie a new wing or something?

[silversaxo113]

i think cat d covers in example body damage over the cars value if we say for panels that will cost more to replace than the car not 100% though and cat c and so on is like structural

[stompin-sarah]

to be hinest im not quite sure all i know is that cat d is the lowest form of damage! i dont even know what/where got damaged on the car!!! neither did the orevious owner and ive no service history for it :(

[Tony]

That sounds illegal

Lol, as if I'd mention it if it was illegal. I did a quick search on the net for it but cannot find anything.

[stompin-sarah]

yeah i did find something about it... costs from 195.00- 250.00 to get it done!!!

[Tony]

And if your car is worth £20k then it is worth it.

Even on your Saxo it maybe worth it.

[stompin-sarah]

lol i dont think its worth it really on my saxo.... well not at the moment anyway!

[saxo_kid18]

if its a cat c it goes on the logbook as you have to take the car for a ministy cheack VECHILE IDENTITY CHECK i do salvage at work and cat ds just come up in hpi checks etc and if it says it on log book it will be cat c

[Tabzman]

Cat D's dont get put on the logbook however a sensible buyer will HPI check it anywho, and Once a cat d always a cat d im afriad dude, if you can get it taken off it will be in some illegal way lol
