Just wondering if there's a way of finding out what the damage was at the time a car was written off.

Ask the previous owner. They should be shown on the V5.
Neighbour buys, and repairs, CAT C & D for himself and family. Often they are simply damaged bumper and lights with no other aspect touched. At present he's got an 03 MX5 that was a CAT D just for very minor front bumper damage and one scuffed alloy - nothing else. Looks like car park ding and cosmetic.
We inherited late father-in-laws newish big car and somebody ran into the back at low speed. At first it just looked as if the bumper was cracked around the mounting point but it was an insurance job all the same. No damage to the metalwork of the car yet final bill came to over £2000 for bumper, paint and fitting etc.

I mean if a car was written off a few years ago and has changed hands a few times.
Just would be interesting to know.

Unfortunately, as far as I`m aware, there`s no way to know what the damage was unless the guy who did the repairs had photographed it before and after. Not many people do this.

Sorry slightly off topic but why is there an anchor at the title of this thread? Have seen some cars with before and after photos but like you say not many...

I dunno but I never realised until recently just how minor the damage could be before someone decides to 'write off' a car
