Don't write off a write-off

HPI, provider of the HPI Check®, uncovers 649 vehicles per day for sale, which have been declared insurance write-offs, but says “not all insurance write-offs are created equal”. Whilst some write-offs are not fit to be allowed back on the road, HPI reminds used car buyers that others can be professionally repaired and legitimately returned to the UK’s roads; they could even be a bargain in disguise.

All vehicles that are written off are put in to one of four categories by the Association of British Insurers (ABI), depending on the level of its condition. The categories include cars that are instructed to be either scrapped or broken down for parts because the damage is too severe for repair and should never be allowed back on the road again (Category A or B); or cars that can be repaired and returned to the road, but are not economically viable to do so, so are recommended to be scrapped (Category C and D).
