Purchasing a Salvage Vehicle at a UK Public Car Auction
Defining a Salvage Vehicle
A salvage vehicle is basically a car so badly damaged it would cost more for an insurance agency to fix it than its overall cost. But the car isn’t necessarily unsalvageable—it can be made road-worthy again. These vehicles are frequently placed in a UK public car auction at a really low cost—they’re put in these categories.
Category A
Category A represents cars that can’t be fixed up at any reasonable price. The worth of the car is much less than the expenditures for repair. Even purchasing parts off Category A autos is risky, so you normally want to steer clear of these in a public vehicle auction.
