Does seem cheap - you are only 14 miles from it - you should go and have a look , might be a bargain.

Yeah I'm going after work tonight..

Any tips apart from the usual here?

Don't buy a cat D which is relatively new. It's taken a proper bashing to be a D at that age. Unless it's engine damage that wrote it off it's not worth the risk and you'll find it almost impossible to sell without feeling like you're getting robbed.

Front passenger side wheel/arch gap looks to be a shade different.

As said above. It's a young car and cat d already. Must have been a lot of damage with some good chassis damage.

Have a good look. I wouldn't say it was cheap at all. Probably priced right for a cat d 200

Wouldn't an HPI Check tell you the details?

Nah it would just tell you it's a cat D at the date. An insurer can do a MIAFTR check to find the area of damage but it is usually filled out very poorly if at all. Best way to find out is to find out the insurance company which wrote it off and do your best to get an engineers report. My job used to be assessing total loss cars so I've seen good and bad previous total losses. The problem is without taking it to autolign inspections it is very difficult to tell the standard of repair, unless you have a very well trained eye.

This clio I had was a cat D. Do you want a car like this? edit: I should say this is the car in it's repaired form!
