cat b used as donor?
hi guys...
can a cat b used for a donor and still maintain a age related plate?
i'd be using most of the main components from the donor ie. engine, gearbox, diff etc..
chassis of course will be scraped
thanks for the info given

I thought CAT A and B write-offs had to be scrapped and crushed.
No parts of a CAT A can be re-used and a CAT B you could use parts BUT you can't use the registration to get an age related plate.

I'd have though you could use a Cat B and get an age related?
Maybe it's down to the DVLA on the day

As far as I am aware
Cat A: Must be destroyed
Cat B: Can have salvage parts removed & sold but shell must be destroyed ( V5C retained by DVLA & will not be re-issued )
Cat C: Can be returned to the Road after undergiong a VIC check, DVLA will return the V5C free once the VIC is passed.
Cat D/E can be returned to the road without the need for a VIC but if you do not have the V5C a replacement fee is payable.
In theory I suppose you could use the parts of a Cat B vehicle as a single donor source for major components but I have a gut feeling that without the
V5C as proof, you may have problems convincing DVLA that this is the case 
Is there such thing as a DVLA official working with good old fassioned common sense, an invoice from a licenced salvage agent detailing serial
numbers, reg number & vin number should be good enough !!??
Been a couple years since I last traded in the salvage market so might not be fully up to date with things

You could use the parts, but it will go onto a Q plate
