Sell my Cat S car: FAQs

What does Cat S mean?

Category S is a repairable write-off with structural damage, such as to the chassis or crumple zones. It replaced Category C in October 2017.

Can a Cat S car be driven again?

Yes, once it has been properly repaired. The write-off marker stays on its history.

Do you buy Cat S cars still with the insurer?

Speak to your insurer first about keeping the car. If they let you retain it, you can sell it to us.
