It's a shame you can't report a car to Autotrader, like you can with eBay.
Yes you can.

I have done it.

It's certainly a misrepresentation.

If the person knows it's Cat D but denies it, it's arguably a fraudulent misrepresentation. That gives rise to a civil remedy though, not a criminal sanction.

Whether it's fraudulent in the criminal sense, I don't know.
That's interesting.

Any way of you finding out Mark?

So this really drives values at auctions, for people repairing salvage and pasing it off as "straight"
I dont see this locally at least. I got to BCA up the road and every car that comes through that house is declared as 'on the register as a CAT D' or whatever it is.

They dont need the hassle of bounced sales either...
