when i got my cossie it was stolen recovered and i thought it was cat d,but it turned out it was cat c.there was absolutely no damage to anything,locks etc but the interior was completely missing.i didnt need a vic check for that.
My s1 was the same i had it a week before it was nicked and just the interior was missing when i got it back
, was put on a cat c but no check as it was 13 years ago, they paid out the full value i paid £5,250 and it cost me 1k to buy it back and £200 quid for trim, load of bullshit on insurers as i got back ended a couple of years ago and insurers paid £2k to fix it, i was with rsoc insurers tho.
