Salvage Categories
Once a vehicle is written off it is classed as salvage. There are several categories of salvage. In summary the categories are as follows:
Category A - the entire vehicle must be crushed.
Category B - the vehicle may be broken for parts but it must never be returned to the road.
Category C - possible structural damage but the vehicle is repairable. The cost of the damage would have been more than the book value of the car if that repairs were carried out at garage prices and official manufacturers parts.
Category D - most likely to be nonstructural damage and should be relatively easily repairable. In this case the vehicle may have been economical to repair but for other reasons it was written off. For example where the insurer have to provide a courtesy car the time taken to repair the vehicle would mean that the courtesy car cost together with the repair cost would be excessive. In a category D scenario it is more likely that the insurer did not wish to repair.

As said on page 5;
The process after the abolition of VIC for obtaining a new V5C for vehicles which would have been included in the VIC scheme will be amended to allow the registered keeper to obtain the V5C without the need to have a VIC marker removed first. There will also be a number of consequential changes to the regulations including ensuring that Cat A and B vehicles are unable to acquire a new registration document and get back on the road. Other changes include updating the literals that are shown on the V5C relating to the write-off so that they better inform the purchaser.

Fair do's.
It's not like the rear bar carries much weight or stress and, once a cage is in, there's no question over rigidity either [emoji1303]
