Brief explanation of insurance categories

Category A - May not be resold. Must be crushed. All of it.

Category B - Vehicle may not be returned to road. Parts may be sold.

Category C - Repairable. Possibly structural damage. Cost of damage (at dealer prices and labour rates) is more than book value of vehicle.

Category D - Repairable. Probably non-structural damage. May have been economic to repair, but insurer doesn't want to.

Category F - A vehicle damaged by fire, which the insurer has decided not to repair.

Category X - Repairable. Minor Damage. 

Theft - These vehicles have not been recovered and ownership rests with the insurer who made the total loss payment. They are able to repossess the car as soon as it is identified, even if it has been bought innocently.
