Can I remove my car's Cat C marker?
My car was damaged and declared a Category C write-off by the insurance company. However, since then, it has been repaired to a high standard and has passed its MoT. Can you please tell me how I can apply to have the Cat C removed from the V5C logbook?

You cannot remove the write-off classification on a used car once the write-off has been declared. Even if the car has been repaired and rebuilt to a high standard, future owners will need to be informed that the car was previously written off.
