What is a written-off vehicle?

A vehicle may be recorded as written off after significant accident, flood, fire, theft or other damage. The record can affect registration, resale value and your decision to buy.

Why check written-off history?

  • • Identify recorded written-off history before purchase
  • • Avoid unexpected resale or registration issues
  • • Understand more about the vehicle’s past
  • • Make a more informed buying decision

Repairable and statutory write-offs

Different written-off classifications can apply depending on the vehicle and jurisdiction. A repairable write-off may have different requirements from a statutory write-off.
