my escort was classed as a cat D write off and that rolled down a motorway embankment, had dents in the roof where it had almost crushed me to death!
there were splits in the sills where the fencing had broken thru into the car and was burried into the rear seats, basically the car was beyond fooked and people seemed to be astounded at how i managed to escape the car alive so id guess CAT D would not allow the car back on the road again! ie Destroyed!

a mate who works for a motor finance company did a check on my car about a month later just out of curiosity to see what it would come up with and it came up 'awaiting to be destroyed'

When the claim had finally paid out and they came to take the car away i was told that the car was only heading to one place due to the severity of its condition and that was to be crushed!
