Call the DVLA.

Category C Repairable salvage. Usually applies to vehicles with significant damage and where the cost of repairs exceeds the book value. It can be sold for repair but must have VIC(Vehicle Identity Check) inspection before returning to the road. V5 documents are returned to DVLA and recorded as category C vehicles. You can re-apply for registration on the original identity once the VIC inspection has been done. VIC inspection and re-registration removes the Category C classification, but evidence it was at one time Category C remains on the vehicle's record at the DVLA and so will appear on a vehicle data check.

I'd get them changed so they say the same...insurance may be void in event of a claim.

Also, as it was once a write off it is worth substianally less than a good 'un. Can take up to 50% off the value.

Be care full leaving the log book as a van not an estate, if you enter a Low emission zone after jan as a van you will get charged £100 a day, you can easily get this changed and will benifit you when you sell it on. You may not live in a low emission zone, but if on holiday you entre a city withone you will get the bill. Also soon the zone will extend
