Hi all
Did a search this evening on using a salvage car as a donor but I'm still not clear on the dvla rules - can anyone help please ?
Previous posts state that you don't need a VIC because the damaged car isn't going back on the road.
The DVLA website says that for Cat A, B or C a VIC marker is set against the car and until it's removed you can't have a V5C - the marker is
only removed when it passes a VIC. So how would you get an age related plate from such a donor ?
Is it possible to get an age related plate using a salvaged donor ?
Also if buying a spares/repairs type deal from a scrapper, do you normally get a V5 to use to get an age related plate ?
The other questions I have are:
Does all this apply to Cat D ?
Are all Cat D's non recordable ?
thanks
Paul
It is possible to get an age related plate on a scrapped donor as that is what I did, although I had a copy of the V5 prior to scrapping the car.
It's far from guaranteed though.
However if I was doing it again I'd go for a Q plate as the emmissions test at MOT is easier.

Thanks Stu.
Interesting point re the emissions - in what way is it easier for a 'Q' plate ? Is the IVA emissions test also easier ?

Its worth ringing the customer service dept at DVLA and asking...
