Cat D write off - v3n0m06
Hello,
A friend of mine has recently had his car written off as Cat D for £1200. It is a 2000 Peugeot 106 Quiksilver with ~100k on the clock. The damage was purely cosmetic, however, there is a dent in the rear quarter which was estimated at over £700 just for labour, so the insurance company wrote it off.
If he were to buy back the car and I buy it, would anything need to be done in order for myself to insure it and put it back on the road? There is no structural damage, the repair was just too costly to complete.
Cheers

Nope just insure it as normal, you may need to get a new MOT if the insurance Co. keep the old one. Cat D doesn't need a VIC check either & won't have it's V5C marked.
