Default Cat N car

Is it possible to find out what exactly what the damage was ? The person selling the car says they bought it like this and dont know what it was.

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.
