That will be a cat c.

Wrong,cat c does not always require a VIC check.
Type the reg into the Dvla vehicle enquiry website and it will show you if there's a VIC marker set against it,if so then it's cat c.
Best way to check is hpi etc but a touch pointless if it's already had a VIC marker set against it.
