If you get the damage sorted then you take it to ministry of transport centre to be checked,my brothers nissan 200sx was a write off with front end corner damage which he repaired from what he told me it was fairly simple check
The vic check is done for cat c cars and is by no means a quality of repair test, there simply checking to make sure the car hasn't been rung and put on false plates etc
so its just: 1.fix the car 2. VIC 3. Mot 4. Insurance 5. Tax
and it that order. getting to downham for a vic is going to be a pain as it wont be legal to drive...

I have the log book. Not showing anywhere that i need to re-apply for it. VIC marker has been set now though.
I cant beleive theres no vic centre's closer it says on the site that most MOT VOSA centres should do them and there are plenty of them in King's Lynn.
O well i should be able to sort it fairley quickly, im going to phone DVLA & VOSA tomorrow hopefully they can fill in any gaps
thanks guys
Ok thanks for info hopefully if I need to send it someone will tell me soon as so far my insurance has been rubbish lol. They just told me to keep it. I'll ask dvla tomorrow
I have just gotten off the phone to DVLA so here is what they have told me.
VIC - check is not a legal requirement and if i am keeping the vehcile myself i only have to get this done if my insurer wont give me valid insurance without it.
MOT - if valid mot was on the car and it is in road condition i shouldnt need to MOT again until it is due.
LOG BOOK - i do not need to apply for a new one as i have one in my possession, but a new one with change of adress or keeper will show the CAT C.
Tax - my old tax can be repringted and put back onto the car (wish id known this before i sent it away
)
if this is all correct and my insurance isnt a pain then it will be simple
but when does that ever happen.
I will still probably get a vic check done even if i can put it on the road without because then it will remove the marker and show that it has been checked. try and keep everything legit and honest hopefully if i sell in the future this will help. although i plan to keep it for a long time
thanks all

Get it booked in and all they do is make sure the chassis number matches the reg, my cousin repairs a lot of vehicles and this is all he does.
