Category C

[pyroqo]

Is it ok to buy a category C insurance car with no record of a VIC Inspection ?

Yes - but before you buy, ensure that the chassis, vin and engine numbers are there, correct and not tampered with.
If it hasnt yet been for its vic, you will recieve a letter asking you to take it for one before they will give you a V5 in your name.
Its simply a check to make sure it is the same car and not a ringer (cut and shut). it takes about half an hour and costs approx �45, it might also be worthwhile ensuring you have a vosa centre reasonably near to you as to save you too much hassle.

I wouldnt bother buying it. If I was the vendor, I would have it done and sell the car with one, for only �50 expenditure the car is much easier to sell. I would wonder why the seller had not thought of this, and had it done, something to hide?
