What does Category C damage mean?
Category C vehicles are classed by the Association of British Insurers as “REPAIRABLE total loss vehicles where repair costs including VAT exceed the vehicle’s pre-accident value (PAV).”
Why buy Category C vehicles?
Our customers choose to buy Category C vehicles for many reasons. These could include Body Shop owners or car dealerships looking to purchase vehicles that require repairs for great value to repair and re-sell; others buy vehicles from Copart for parts or personal restoration projects.

Vehicle Identity Check / VIC
Once repairs have been carried out on a Category C vehicle, the owner of the vehicle must have what is known as a Vehicle Identity Check or ‘VIC’ carried out on the vehicle. This is because once a vehicle has been written off by an insurance company, a ‘VIC Marker’ is put against the vehicle’s record. As a result the owner of a vehicle with a 'VIC Marker' must pass a VIC to have this removed before it can be registered and put back on the road.
