The Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) scheme has been introduced as a deterrent to ringing. Insurers must notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of all cars ‘written off’ within salvage categories A, B or C. This notification will set a ‘VIC marker’ against the DVLA vehicle record. Whilst a VIC marker remains set, DVLA won’t issue a registration certificate V5C, or vehicle licence reminder V11. The VIC marker will only be removed, when the car passes a VIC.

You can purchase a Category "C" vehicle for a fraction of its current retail value. However before you can legally return a CAT. "C" vehicle for use on the public highway, the vehicle will have to be inspected by VOSA. Once a successful inspection has been completed, other relevant documents can be applied for. These will include a replacement logbook (V5C) and Tax Disc.

If you trade in the selling of repaired CAT. "C" vehicles then this service will prove valuable to you. From experience, most car purchasers prefer to buy a vehicle that has a logbook (V5C), MOT, Road Tax and Service History if available at the point of purchase. You are unlikely to receive any of these documents when you purchase a CAT "C" vehicle.

I can complete all the various stages that are required to get your vehicle legal. Below you will see different levels of service and their cost. Select the option you require and submit the form. I will then email you with a complete itemised quote. The prices quoted below are our administration and labour cost. If you prefer to submit the required information by telephone please call 0844 371 8121 or 07956 414706.

Options Explained:

Option 1. You require a Tax Disc and logbook (V5C) only. In this instance you would have already obtained a VIC and MOT certificate for your vehicle. Send these documents to our mailing address by recorded post or other trackable courier. Once processed, a Tax disc will be sent to you and a new log book will follow. DVLA quote up to 6 weeks for a replacement logbook (V5C).

Option 2. You Require a VIC certificate, tax disc and logbook (V5C). You must have a current MOT certificate. The vehicle must also be displaying front and rear number plates and the relevant repairs completed. You will bring the vehicle to our base at an arranged time so it can be presented to VOSA for its VIC test. The test will take approximately 45 mins. Once the VIC certificate has been obtained the rest of your order will be processed as in option 1.

Option 3. If you require a VIC certificate and logbook (V5C) only, your vehicle will have to be taken to the VOSA testing station by transporter. Again the vehicle must have front and rear number plates and the associated CAT "C" damage repaired. A VIC appointment will be arranged for you and you will be informed of this. Your vehicle will be collected in time for the test and on completion returned to you with a copy of the VIC. certificate. The VIC certificate will be retained by us to make the logbook (V5C) application. Once the application has been completed the VIC certificate will be returned to you and your logbook (V5C) will follow. DVLA quote up to 6 weeks for a replacement logbook (V5C).

Option 4. This is the same as option 3, the only addition is you require a tax disc also. Your vehicle will be taken to the VOSA testing station by transporter. Again the vehicle must have front and rear number plates and the associated CAT "C" damage repaired. A VIC appointment will be arranged for you and you will be informed of this. Your vehicle will be collected in time for the test and on completion returned to you with a copy of the VIC. certificate. The VIC certificate will be retained by us to make the logbook (V5C) and tax disc application. Once the application has been completed the VIC certificate and tax disc will be returned to you and your logbook (V5C) will follow. DVLA quote up to 6 weeks for a replacement logbook (V5C).
