Category B write-offs
I've been looking at buying a Land Rover Discovery 2 off someone I know who has had it for the last four years, but it is category B - long story but basically Land Rover owned it from new and after couple months it got roof damaged. Land Rover and their insurers argued about what the solution would be. Anyway, they ended up putting it as category B because land rover wouldn't agree.
It has since been VIC checked and is taxed and has been mot'd for the last 6+ years. It it ok to use? Many thanks.

The vehicle should have been crushed, but can be used off road on private land. It can never be put back on the road.
