Understanding Write-Off Status and Insurer Buybacks
If your car has been assessed as a write-off, either by your own insurer or a previous one, it’s worth understanding what that status actually means before you sell. In Victoria, a write-off is generally classified as either “statutory” or “repairable.” A statutory write-off is one that VicRoads has determined can never be re-registered again, regardless of the repairs carried out, usually because the damage is severe enough that the vehicle isn’t considered safe to return to the road under any circumstances. A repairable write-off is different: the insurer has assessed the cost of repair as uneconomical relative to the car’s value, but the vehicle itself can still legally be repaired, inspected, and re-registered by a new owner willing to put in that work.
