what exactly does this mean? light damage or major damage?
Got my eye on a car in the trader that has been "cat D repaired".
Any advice?
Cheers

No its not, cat 'D' is light damage, 'A' means the vehicle must be crushed, 'B' means parts can be stripped but the shell must be crushed, cat 'C' is heavy damage

Category C vehicles are those that can be repaired. The majority of vehicles that will undergo a VIC will be Category C. My car was a cat c and that was just a bump in the side no HEAVY damage at all

Category A or B vehicles
Under the Code, vehicles categorised as either A or B are considered to be so severely accident damaged that they should never reappear on the road. These vehicles should therefore not be subject to a VIC. Category A, vehicles should be destroyed completely and Category B vehicles should be dismantled for salvageable parts

Category D vehicles
This Category is not included within the scheme.
