Category write-offs

A vehicle that has been in an accident will be assessed by insurance companies and assigned a category: A, B, S or N. However, we only list Cat S or N cars as Cat A and B cars are not roadworthy and safe.

Category S (formerly Category C)

The 'S' in Cat S stands for structural damage. This means the vehicle has damage to its structure/chassis, which is more than just cosmetic damage. But the vehicle can be professionally repaired, making it safe and roadworthy.

Category N (formerly Category D)

Similarly, the 'N' in Cat N stands for non-structural damage. Here, the vehicle has sustained damage, but it has not affected the structure/chassis. A Cat N car is safe to drive as the damage could be minimal/cosmetic.

Buying a written-off vehicle:

Do a full vehicle history check to identify category vehicles.
Make sure to check with the dealer if a Cat S/N vehicle has been professionally repaired.
Book a vehicle inspection and our experts will look over a Category vehicle for you.
