    Are salvage cars a good buy?

    Sometimes. They can be cheaper, but risks include hidden damage, insurance restrictions, and reduced resale value. Our reports highlight risks so you can decide with confidence.

    Can I drive a salvage vehicle?

    Not until it has been repaired, tested, and declared roadworthy. Salvage cars must first pass inspections before being insured or driven legally.

    Yes. Once repairs are completed and the car meets legal safety standards, it can be re-registered with the DVLA and returned to the road.

    What are salvage categories?

    Categories explain the level of damage: Category A (scrap only), Category B (parts only), Category S (structural repair), and Category N (non-structural repair). These guide whether the car is repairable.
