CAT B write-off, back on road?

[Ahlee]

A family member has a really good running car which they purchased as a previous cat-c. Recently someone crashed into them, and has just damaged the doors that can be fixed, however they have registered their car as CAT B and have paid them out for it. The car is really easily fixed, but their excuse was that it's a cat C before and it's now damaged twice it's become a CAT B?

I'm reading it's still possible to get the cat b car back on road but unlikely any insurer will insure the vehicle? or does insurance not check?

What can be done?

by the looks of it, that is only a insurance guideline and not a legal one. apparently you can get it fixed, MOT and VIC check? then be able to drive it again
