It adds a 'condition inspected' to the HPI check, it will say '1 recorded' or similar, and include the name of the inspecting co and a reference number for the report.  It doesn't change the history of the car though.  Prospective buyers can obtain the report, and it will say something like 'previously recorded as cat N on condition register' and give the date of the inspection, inspector name etc.

As I said it will remove the cat n status. Yes it'll add the condition inspected but you would also get the satisfaction of knowing that it was repaired to a high standard, unlike alot of cat c + cars out there.

 

You should theoretically be able to get more money for your car as it's not a cat c, d, n or s car

The cat status is still on the history, it's not removed. 

 

I'm not a legal expert but I believe there is an obligation to declare the car was a cat N when you sell it. 

 

Personally I've always thought cat D/N was a bit unfair. Just a few pounds either way can determine when one car is repaired whilst another is forever cat N. 

 

Also think on an older / classic car it's all a bit academic. On a 3 year old car it matters.
