Means been in an accident and insurance has written it off because of the financial cost. Cat C cars can be legally repaired and put back on the road (after a VOSA inspection I believe).

Cat A & B - Fucked basically and will NEVER be allowed back on road

Cat C & D - Repairable and allowed back on road


I bought a Cat C Astra last year......

needed a wing, bonnet, bumper, headlight, indicator and the front panel straightening

Cat a ,, distruction order against it ( CAN NOT BE SOLD COMPLETE )
Cat B ,, Heavy damage ( can be broke for parts )
Cat c , Heavy damage ( can be repaired but not worth it )
Cat d, Minor damage ( easy repair but insurer decided not to go ahead ) various reasons why they didnt bother .

Cat d , Nothing to worry about ( as long as its cheap )
Cat c, Look very close that its been repaired to a good standard

Cat a,/ b walk away

Cat a,/ b walk away
cat a & b- not usually sold to public
cat c- needs a vosa inspection (as clare said), will also have a note on the log book
cat d- needs no inspection
cat x- usually stolen recovered with little or no damage, no inspection
