| Comment | There's different categories, this was a Category C write off, I think it's only motor trade that need to do any paperwork with DVLA with them to sell on, private owners don't (might be wrong there).
To fix it would've meant replacing all the locks and ignition at about £1500. So for a \~£800 banger the decision was nope, if I remember right they just sold it back to me at scrap value, I was still using it every day, so they hadn't incurred any costs.
EDIT: By the way, did you have any joy with the key? |
