Write offs can occur from damage induced by a collision, fire, water inundation, other weather event, malicious action, dismantling or stripping. A vehicle can be either a statutory write off or a repairable write off. A statutory write-off is too badly damaged to be repaired to a standard that is safe or roadworthy. These vehicles are only suitable for use as parts or scrap metal. A repairable write-off has been assessed as uneconomical to repair. It can only be registered if it is repaired and then passes a safety inspection. For a low price, an Information Brokers vehicle report can reveal this information to you and more to avoid you being ripped off by a seller. Information Brokers is accredited with asic.gov.au as an information broker, and is an accredited registrar with auda.org.au.
