Hi all

I'm looking at buying a Focus ST and this one looks like a good deal. But it was stolen and recorded as CAT D. Does this mean that if I get insurance on this particular car, it will be higher than a non-CAT D car because it's had a claim on it?

Never used to but YMMV.

Make sure you have the documentation for the VIC, if it has been repaired and been put back on the road.

no vic check on a cat D: this from the DVLA on that car

Thanks all. Turns out it has 7 owners...I'm going to walk away from this one.

Thanks again.
