How to check if a Car is Cat C - For Free!
I have discovered a way to check if a car is Cat. C or D, without paying a fee or giving any personal information, such as email address etc.
Trying it on a few cars, it seems to be accurate. First go to http://www.autotrader.co.uk/sell-my-car then key in the registration number of the car you want to check and the mileage. Continuing should display the car details. Then press "Next Step" You will then see the following page As you can see, on this example, the car is recorded as Cat. C under the car details. Should the car be clear, then there will be nothing shown. This obviously does not replace a full check, but might be of help for someone wanting to run a quick check.

Just did this, and Autotrader very helpfully suggested that I set a sale price of £560 . In order to make me feel better, they also kindly informed me that this price was £450 more than I would get in a part exchange deal . So that's all good then. Cliff

It looks like that they want £1.89 to run a "Silver Check" which gives a written off check and £8.99 for a "Gold Check" which is a more comprehensive one.

This is what they said to me
Not that I'd sell her as I've put a million man hours into keeping her on the road

Well, not showing anything bad for mine, and it suggested a sale price of what I just paid for it - quite happy with that really!

Just checked mine and no write off flag - but the recommended sale price for a 40,000 mile 2 owner diesel auto conni saloon is just silly !!!
A friend of mine is looking for one and everything he has looked at so far is 2 or 3 times what autotrader recommends I sell mine for ..... |
