Registering Cat B after October 1st

[edviss]

Hello, as we all know before removing VIC Checks it was easy to register CAT B cars, basically same process as CAT C cars, fixing them up going through VIC check and receiving logbook.

I have done an experiment (obviously it might be costly) i found a Cat B merc with a front end damage, dont know why it have received CAT B as it was bolt on fix. Anyways i have called DVLA before buying a car to ask can I register it now as there is no more VIC checks available. What they have told me is that if i pass MOT and get it insured i can apply for logbook via V62 form. So this is what i did fixed the car, passed MOT(shows in DVLA check all green) no advisories, insured it without any problems (askmid shows green) and yesterday i have filled V62 also included £25 postal order, and now it is a waiting game might take up to six weeks...

So my question is have anyone tried Registering CAT B car after October 1st as you cannot book VIC check no more ? Just though it might be interesting to know maybe other people have done the same and to get more info in case i dont get logbook, as i have read in other forums that it is possible to book a private examiner but not idea how.

Thanks
Ed

P.S sorry for grammar mistakes, this is my second language.

Cat B`s pop up time to time on ebay just keep checking, last week there was bmw 120d with a headlight missing and crack in the bumper,wing, starts and drives no airbag damage, and it was CAT B...

Quick update as i have mentioned above i have sent of V62 and waiting for a logbook, DVLA contacted my insurance company to confirm that its the same car insured, spoke to my insurance company they said nothing to worry about... still waiting daily for some news from dvla.

Do you mean a Cat D, as I thought Cat B cars were not supposed to go back on the road?

Cat B , there is many cat b`s back on the road, and its legal to do that as long it is fixed and passed all the inspections.
