Useful Information
Why should I buy a total loss car?
- Value for money - If you have the skills and knowledge to repair a damaged vehicle, you could see yourself saving a considerable amount of money over buying the car used (including the cost to repair).
- Parts - Heavily damaged vehicles, particularly CAT B, C and S titles could provide you with a source of great-value used parts. The vehicles may be too heavily damaged to realistically return to the road (CAT Bs cannot legally return to the road) however they contain salvageable parts which you could purchase for a fantastic price, perfect if you are already repairing a similar model.

Who should purchase a total loss vehicle?
Total loss vehicles can vary in condition from light cosmetic damage, to deeper mechanical problems. As a result, there is not a one size fits all when considering taking on this challenge. Those who specialise in used vehicle repair would be more suited towards fixing vehicles with lighter damage whereas vehicles with heavier damage might be more suitable to experienced mechanics who have worked with repairable salvage before.
Of course, if you have limited experience with damaged vehicles and are looking to take on your first salvage challenge, there’s no reason why this type of vehicle might not be appropriate if you can dedicate the time and care it takes to repair it.

Is a total loss vehicle a salvage vehicle?
Total loss vehicle, as defined by the Association of British Insurers is 'Typically, a vehicle which is treated as a total loss (also known as a "write-off") is when the cost to repair the vehicle is higher than the actual cash value of the vehicle. A vehicle may, however, become an ‘economic total loss’ because other costs associated with the repair push up the cost of repairing it, such as the costs of a courtesy car.'
Do I need licences to buy a total loss salvage vehicle?
If you are looking to purchase a Category B – Breaker vehicle you will need to hold the correct licences and meet a set of requirements. For more information on buying CAT Bs, visit our Category B buying page.
