js2012 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 If i car is recorded as a total loss does that mean its unsafe to buy? Or could it have been repaired well enough to be safe? If it was safe, would you expect a seller to decalir in the ad that it was a crash repair? Edit. * VRM recorded by an insurance company as a total loss * Vehicle recorded by the DVLA as having a VIC test (pass) Im confused. Why would it have a pass certificate if its a total loss?

Digitalis Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 The vehicle is recorded as a insurance write off, the seller must tell you this. The VIC check is carried out by VOSA and is just a check to confirm the identity of the vehicle. It is not an inspection of the quality of repair. It is purely to make sure the vehicle identity has not been transferred to a stolen vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
