Presuming that you mean in the context of an insurers category, it is a damaged vehicle that the insurer has decided not to repair but which could be repaired and returned to the road.
This is generally in the case where the damage is only cosmetic but where the cost of repair is greater than the cars value.

It depends whether someone has done the required repairs. I can't comment on the current market value but if that is about right and someone has, say, replaced the body then assuming that it is mechanically sound there should be no problem.
A dealer is obliged to inform you that the vehicle is a cat D so that you know that it has been repaired.

Even if the repair is very good, I would expect to pay a lot less than book price, just because of its history. There could be underlying problems which only come to light over a period of time.If you can get a similar car with no accident history at roughly the same price or even a bit more, then surely that is the safest option.
