You are correct, but they only bring it up when you make a claim.

Do cat c and d not show on a cars logbook? If so you need to send in your logbook and mot in order to be paid on a total loss

Doesnt affect insurance what so ever, those who say it does, either insure it with complete tossers, or have no clue what they are talking about.

Its only a problem when they pay out..

Technically you are supposed to tell them its a CAT C/D when you insure (if you know its been recorded) and when they pay out the value reflects this.. But if you keep shtum they must give you market value.

Im sure insurance company HPI cars?

After i got my megane, i saw one for sale dirt cheap, and the dealership had a price match promise. Turns out it was cat c, hence it being £1k cheaper. I didn't believe him, it was from a reputable dealer and no mention of this. It was cat c when on a private plate, and didnt come up with the current plate, yet only showed when you HPI the associate plates.

It had been HPI checked 37 times, about 30 of them being insurance company's!

Private plate makes no difference what so ever, my old Corsa was Cat C on its orig reg, i put my private plate on it, waited a month or so, and HPI'd it again to see, still said Cat C.

As LeeM said, it all goes on value/mileage/age of the car, a 10 year old Corsa could be a Cat C, needing just a bonnet and bumper, bolt on parts, but yet a 6 month old Corsa could be Cat C needing a full front end.
