Hi Emma
Thanks for your clarification of these important matters.
Re salvage retention, “repairable within DVLA guidlines” no problem with cat S or N but
cat A or B are not allowed to be retained , what happens when in that case?
Would the unfortunate claimant be allowed to dismantle the car so that the salvage yard only collected the chassis?
You can retain the registration number off a total loss car if the number is transferable, and the car has a
current MOT so for those partial to the registration it would be a good idea to keep the car MOT’d.
We all hope we won’t find ourselves in this position, but accidents do happen.
Best Wishes Gene
