Cat C and D write offs.
Watchdog last week did an expose on this, they mentioned that if a vehicle has been written off , category C or D, then this is in the logbook somewhere. Any idea what section? I can't seem to find an appropriate section anywhere on the the ones I've got. Thanks.

Cat D requires no VIC marker therefore no reason for a V5C to be updated. However an HPI check should flag it.

Cat C is NOT damaged beyond repair.
Beyond repair implies the car should never return to the road - that is the reserve of Cats A & B.
Cat D represents damage that would cost around 60%-100% of the car's value if repaired by an appoved repairer.
Cat C represents damage that an approved repairer would charge in excess of 100% of the car's value to rectify.
