After an engineer has inspected a damaged vehicle, a decision is made as to whether the vehicle is fit to be returned to the road. If it is, a category “S” or “N” marker (meaning structural or non-structural damage) will be applied. The vehicle can then be sold via auction and following a repair it can be taxed, insured, mot’d and used on the road again. The marker remains against the vehicle for the rest of its life and can be found by completing a history check against the registration number.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer any additional money, nor are we able to remove and return any fuel left in your vehicle. We advise against removing fuel yourself.
