my car i bought is cat d, usually its fine as they can write a car off even as low as 60% of the cars market value.
The only thing you will need to do is tell your insurance as they might not cover you if they dont know about it.
They will need to see a copy of the engineers report when it was fixed, if you dont have this you can take it to any mot place and get them to print something off to say it checks out fine.
theres nothing else you need

@hitman2k, the car need to check by the DVLA first to check idenity etc...You normally get a certificate for the inspection and then you can reapply for the logbook in your name and then tax vehicle.
Your insurance might also need an approved engineer's report to state that the car has been repaired to the required standards

they do for insurance purposes, either that or an engineers report.
catd is the lowest cat write off
