Cat C is where the cost of repair is greater than the value of the vehicle (using main dealer new parts). As with Cat D the car is reparable, but it can't be used on the road until a VIC check has been passed.
A VIC check is only a Vehicle Identity Check it has nothing to do with looking at the repair
waste of fooking time
Its about time ALL damaged cars has a quality of repair check before they can go back on the road
