For drivers to understand write off categories, there is a text guide to accompany this video. Head over to https://www.carveto.co.uk/write-off-categories/ for up to date salvage categories and to check if a car is written off. Video content overview: 0:00 Write off categories explained 0:40 Car write off report 2:00 Salvage codes 2:10 Category A: Scrap 2:59 Category B: Break 3:45 Category S: Structural Damage (previously Cat C) 4:52 Category N: Non-Structural Damage (previously Cat D) If you are buying a used car privately, a car history report is recommended to check possible insurance category damage, theft, mileage fraud or current finance agreements. These factors can impact vehicle safety and value. Perhaps you need more information due to a recent accident? In this case, your insurer will inspect your car and determine if it is economical to repair and get back on the road. Flood and fire damage can also render a car with category write off. Or you may have learned that your car has recorded damage, and you believe the status is inaccurate. The Motor Insurance and Anti Fraud Theft Register (MIAFTR) are responsible for tagging written off cars. If you want more information or support, contact our team by email: [email protected] Notes about write-off category status It reduces car value as fewer motorists are willing to buy or drive a car that’s previously written-off. Cat A and Cat B cars must be scraped and are not permitted to be on the road. Cat S and Cat N cars are allowed on the road after professional repairs with an update to date MOT certificate. Write off markers are permanent and displayed in a vehicle identity check (even after professional repair), and you need to declare your car as a write off if you choose to sell. Insuring a write off tends to be expensive, and not all companies are willing to provide cover. DVLA must be notified when vehicle status changes: https://www.gov.uk/written-off-vehicle CarVeto 13 Harbury Road, Henleaze, Bristol, BS9 4PN 51.4914871,-2.6016273 https://goo.gl/maps/sjxNN7T3YJK2 Support mail: [email protected] #writeoffcategories #carwriteoff #carwriteoffcheck #dvlacarwrittenoff #carveto

An increasing number of website users are enquiring about a stolen car check. You can use this link to run a stolen vehicle theft check https://www.carveto.co.uk/blog/stolen-vehicle-check/ via the CarVeto database. This car register is provided for private motorists who are either buying a used car or investigating its history. Database checks for stolen/theft status via two sources: 1. Police National Register. 2. Nation Insurance database for previous insurance claim for loss of the vehicle. Stolen and recovered describes a vehicle previously stolen but recovered and given back to the registered keeper or legal owner. In many cases, a recovered car after theft will be removed from the Police register therefore not showing as stolen via the CarVeto database. Implications from a stolen vehicle 1. When a car is stolen, and the insurer pays out a loss premium to the legal owner (usually the person registered with DVLA on the V5C logbook), the vehicle is automatically written-off and disposed at salvage. Depending on the severity of the damage, the car will be classified under Cat A, B, C, D, S or N. Write-off status was updated in 2017. Here is a full guide on old and new category status https://www.carveto.co.uk/Write-Off-Check/ 2. Mileage alternation or ‘car clocking’ is another issue related to cars that were stolen and not recovered before resell. The purpose of clocking is to increase the perceived value of a car and to deceive potential buyers. 3. The third common trait to stolen cars is number plate changes – the CarVeto database provides a list of all legitimate number plate changes registered via DVLA/DVSA together with the dates of transfers and all other car reg numbers. Some stolen cars endure vehicle identity theft that can lead to car cloning. The database provided also investigate import and export changes, VIC inspections, scrappage alerts together with full road tax and MOT status/history. You will need a vehicle registration number to access the database for any car, van or motorcycle currently registered in the UK with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.

The founder of CarVeto discusses a free hpi check and one is available for UK motorists https://www.carveto.co.uk/car-history-check/hpi-check-free/ CarVeto is a car data check provider like hpi check. Most of the information is sourced from the same places, including DVLA, the MIAFTR (Motor Insurance Anti Theft Register), MIB (Motor Insurance Bureau, DVSA and police theft markers. Hpi check is the oldest car checking service, established in 1938. They serve large pockets of the motor trade with information around car finance, car write-off, theft and mileage checks. For a private motorist, there are two products offered that range from £9.99 to £19.99. The cheap product has turned out to be insufficient when buying a car as it excludes much of the data that impacts vehicle safety and law. A private buyer that finds a car with outstanding finance must know who the lending company is, the agreement number, type of finance contract and contact information. Similarly, should a check from hpi result in write-off status, the details of accident damage are also omitted. It’s also the case with car mileage checks where hpi exclude the investigation for customers who only purchase the hpi £9.99 check. Motorists will mostly know that theft, mileage, write-off and finance are the four components to a car check of most importance. If you choose to use hpi when buying a car, ensure you only buy the £19.99 full check. CarVeto does things a bit differently to hpi. We provide an initial free car check Platinum check that includes all available online data. We also provide a detailed used car buying guide to help those motorists who feel uncertain when buying a second-hand car. The cost for Platinum is almost 50% less than hpi’s. Each report is instantly available via any UK car reg number. It’s suggested to download the report and add to service history.

Taxing a car without a logbook is not so easy. More information here: https://www.carveto.co.uk/blog/tax-no-logbook/ DVLA makes this the case to try and stop motorist from buying a car that doesn't have all of the paperwork; in particular the V5C logbook. The main reasons for avoiding a used car that doesn't have all of its documentation include: It may be a write off, It may be cloned or stolen. General notes on taxing a car with no logbook. You need at least one of the following: V11 car tax reminder V5C logbook registered in your name V62 Application form for a new logbook (provided the car is currently registered in your name) V5C/2 (or V5C/6 on the new style V5) Green new keepers supplement If you don't have any of these DVLA documents, you are generally unable to tax a vehicle. Steps to taxing a car without the correct documentation Firstly, apply for a new V5C via the V62 application form - helpful link: https://www.carveto.co.uk/blog/lost-logbook-v62/ There's a fee of £25, and the logbook usually arrives within four weeks of application. While you wait for the new logbook, your new car must be declared as SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). Use this link for information and how to apply to DVLA: https://www.carveto.co.uk/blog/dvla-sorn/ SORN takes your car off the road meaning you don't need to have it insured, taxed or MOT'd, but you can't use the car legally on the road unless driving to a pre-booked MOT test. More on MOT testing here: https://www.carveto.co.uk/mot-check/checklist/ I don't have any of the documents, I don't want to SORN, and I need to use the car immediately... There is one possibility. You need to have: Insurance cover note MOT certificate (if the car is over three years old) V62 Logbook application form and a cheque or debit card for £25 Identification (preferably your driver's license) There is one other item you'll need. Watch the four-minute video for all of the details.
