wait. Cat = reapairable but insurer opted out (minor damage) to be a write off that means that over £12500 at least of damage was done to the car. Doesn't sound that minor!

Not worth the risk imho.

Not always the case. Cat D can refer to a car thats been stolen recovered. The insurers have settled the claim prior to the car being recovered. May have suffered no damage but is classed as Cat D

Good point but potentially well abused in any case. Enough of them out there unless it is super cheap.
