Any input / experience appreciated.
Thanks
Nothing to worry about at all besides the stigma of it being cat c.
Repair the car as usual,either Mot it first or vic it first,up to you.if it doesnt come with numberplate/s order them online as you can't get them without a v5c,then you'll be issued a form to tax the vehicle with while you await the full v5c,simples.
Sometimes,if your very lucky,you won't need to do a vic check even though it's cat c.
Ignore the idiots who tell you you cant insure them,or tax them and the vic check will go thru all the repairs to check their done to a certain standard as it's a guy with a clipboard,no mechanical training simply checking the cars not rung.
You don't have to show recipts or anything else,easy process that takes 10 minutes and gives the government £42!!!
