Hello Retro Rides.
I have found myself looking into the possibility of repairing a Cat c vehicle, its currently on as a Cat C marker.
Talking to the salvage company they informed me that the VIC check has been abolished, so with that in mind does any one have any experience with the new process?
It sounds as though it is better for us who want to go through the VIC process, for those who are not in the know, it would appear that we no longer need to pay £40 and take time off of work for a VIC check. Now we just submit a form for a new V5, which from my research shows is free in this instance, and wait for one to be returned. It seems the change has been brought around after only 40 "ringer" being found amunt 190,000 test candidates.

I think this is similar to the process originally set in place for Cat D vehicles?

Cant seem to find the Gov Link, so this will have to do << Click
Now with the above in mind I have the following to ask.
I am looking at a new van which has been accident damaged and deemed a Cat C, I have not yet viewed the vehicle, but from extensive photos requested and forwarded over it appears to be a Bolt on panel job, the vehicle being in an ever popular colour also keeps costs minimal which is a bonus.
Now with the vehicle being a Cat C, I will repair the damage and then file the subsequent form and apply for the V5, now this is where my question comes from.
Do I have to wait for the V5 to come back before I can submit the van for an MOT? If so would I be able to repair the damage, send the V5 application off, take it for an MOT and use the vehicle until the V5 arrives?
Any help or suggestions would be excellent.
