Can I get the marker removed from the record on a repaired Cat-D write-off?
The Category D write-off marker will remain part of the vehicle’s history for life. It can’t be removed and will always show in a history check.
We always advise:
If you are considering buying a used car previously written off by an insurer, bear in mind that its Category C/D status is marked on the V5C registration document and will affect the vehicle’s future resale value and saleability – this should be reflected in the current purchase price.
You will need to satisfy yourself that repairs have been carried out to a satisfactory standard.
Bear in mind too that some insurers may refuse to insure a repaired Category C/D write-off. Check with your insurer before buying.
