D - Repairable salvage. Minimal damage sometimes stolen and found after claim has been paid, or cost of repair combined with difficulty obtaining new parts to enable a swift repair.
bear in mind that the quota is somewhat open to interpretation
just look at a few salvage yard sales at the slight! damage on offer - pmsl
here's 2 bad examples
Cat D Front
Cat D Rear
there's some almost clean examples also D listed stolen recovered
Look for yourself here
as you can see - from mild
to wild 
as usual despite the industry standardisation - SUX huh
other lists state cat D as :
Vehicle damaged and insurer has decided not to repair
Vehicles replaced under "new for old" schemes (say 50% damage) which would not otherwise have been treated as total losses.
Vehicles which could be repaired by insurer but written off to minimise hire charges, ect
Constructive total loss - the insurer has declined to repair vehicle due to other reasons (not necessarly related to the amount of damage sustained)
blah blah de blah

Are you asking cause of the Cordoba 16v on Ebay which is Cat-D? Doesn't look too bad, wings are still straight, air-bags aren't popped! bonnet isn't too bad either! Looks an okay buy, but what is the reserve?
blast from the past opening this thread up again..!
iv just bought a mk3 cupra which was slightly damaged (cat D), jsut had new froont bumper and front wing, no chassis damage at all and professionally repaired to A1 condition, now idiot boy here goes and tells direct line who sed it would be fine to insure it, (im only 21 on dads insureance) and they want an engineers report, i got a brief outline written up of what was done which i thought would be perfectly adequate, and they have denied me saying its not good enough,, what could they want?
has anyone else had to get one of these engineers reports ??
cheers
