CAT N description:
This is the equivalent of the previous Cat D category, and identifies a car that's been involved in an accident, but has not suffered damage to its structural frame. The updated code notes that even though Category N cars haven't had their core safety structures damaged, there may still be safety-critical parts – such as suspension or steering components – that need replacing.
Basically what Russell said.
I guess the insurance inspector is the only one who knows and once it gets to a certain amount its written off as not viable to fix, so there maybe lots of other nasty broken bits not yet examined.
