I definitely remember a site that gave photos in the damaged state as part of the car check, what it is I can't remember. Useful I know
The saving grace with a Cat N is it could be the lightest damage which shouldn't affect the structural bits but I suppose doing your due diligence is peace of mind too.

Me too. Iāve been racking my brain trying all sorts into Google but nothing.
Is that the site that will show pictures of the damage? Only Ā£4.99 so worth a punt anyway I guess. Already done a HPI on another site but just told me it was a CAT N

I personally wouldnāt buy a cat d/c. Just too much hassle trying to sell it on.
I bought a cat d once, had been lightly tapped on the rear. The boot and sunroof leaked, no matter what I done, it leaked. Could never get it aligned bang on either.
I think the frame was slightly jarred in the accident. Put me off buying anything categorised or anything accident damaged for that matter. Most in my experience have been poorly repaired or have something lurking, better waiting for the right car.

@Eamo_vxr this car in question was worth about Ā£2k and was planning for it to be my daily derv for the next few years at least - the CAT didnt bother me as it was good value for money and I'd have driven it on but unfortunately the more I dug into the cars history and its current owner, i just didnt get the right vibe.
