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.
Non-structural damage refers to cosmetic or minor issues that do not compromise the integrity of a vehicle's frame or chassis. Some examples include dents and scratches, as well as problems with electrical systems, interior components, or non-critical parts of the engine or suspension. This type of damage is easily repairable and does not affect the vehicle's structural safety or performance.

For Cat N cars, some insurance providers might refuse coverage, charge a higher premium, or only offer third-party cover. So, confirm with insurers before buying a Cat N car.
We strongly suggest asking for evidence of damage or doing a full vehicle history check to understand the extent of damage and the repair works carried out.
It is always a good idea to get a category vehicle thoroughly inspected to find out any hidden problems or poor repair jobs.
