Cat d repaired vehicles

[DanF]

What's the low down on Cat D repaired vehicles. There's some 172's advertised near me with "CAT D RECORDED" etc on them, are these worth checking out? they go for about 10% less than other ones.

Category D

The least damage suffered of the four categories e.g. vehicles replaced under 'new for old' schemes, vehicles written-off to minimise hire charges.

The vehicle can be safely and economically repaired either by the insurer / motor trade or by an enthusiast using cheaper parts and reduced labour costs.

10% doesn't seem enough of an incentive to buy. Even though the car should be perfectly sound structuraly, you will have a job moving it in on.
