Why this matters
You are wise to steer clear of vehicles that are shown as damage write offs unless a professional vehicle mechanic satisfies you that the repairs are carried out to a high standard and that the vehicle is roadworthy. This vehicle has not been recorded as scrapped.
Proving this is an extremely difficult and lengthy process.
We do not recommend that you buy vehicles recorded as scrapped as they’re supposed to have been destroyed.
This vehicle is not recorded as write off due to theft related insurance claim.
Insurers can repossess theft-related insurance write offs even if you handed over the money and bought it innocently. You should avoid buying theft-related right offs unless you’re satisfied the seller really is the rightful owner.
