Listing says declared in 2008, but has MOT for 2009, thought you couldn't get an MOT in cat A/B and no V5 
Cat A is for burn outs and gutted vehicles. Only value is in the baled weight at a metal recyclers.
(CAT A also applies when the vehicle has been involved in a serious RTA that has been subject to a death and also 'contamination' issues such as 'human tissue' in the vehicle.......)
Cat B is where the vehicle is no longer safe to put back on the road and must be broken or crushed. These can only be sold to registered dismantlers with an EPA waste licence. They are actually sold as parts and are no longer considered as a vehicle. There is no economic consideration involved, purely a safety one. Vehicles that have been flooded are normally written off as a cat B.
Cat C is where the car is repairable but is not economic to do so. Think older cars and or ones where the chassis needs jigging.
Cat D is where the vehicle is repairable and would be economic to do so (cost of salvage + cost of repairs < Pre accident value) but the insurance company has decided not to repair the vehicle. This could be due to excessive storage or recovery costs, etc.

Cat D can also include vehicles that are stolen with the key and missing for more than (IIRC) 90 days.

The bloke describes it as (dare I say it? ).......... a jeep. If he doesn't know the difference between a LR and a jeep, he probably doesn't know the difference between a 'Cat b' and a 'Cat d'.

I wouldn't buy anything from someone who doesn't know what it is they're selling. Not even if it's free.
