Hi All.
I'm looking at buying a repaired Category S write-off Discovery 5 commercial. It was new in September 2021 and I was wondering if the 3yr warranty would still be in place, or does it automatically become void once a vehicle has been classified as written off?
I have heard of different policies in this scenario, depending on manufacturer.
Can anyone advise, please?
Thanks
Mark

I would be guessing but I would be VERY surprised if anyone could stand by a warranty on a vehicle which is written off. There are so many unknowns and risk which there wouldn't be any appetite for.
 
It hasn't been put back on the road yet, but is mid repair. I have been to see it and driven it as is. It is structural but repairable and it is cheap.
There is damage to the front bumper (and a few components behind it), side step, front and rear doors and rear arch. Both air bags had been set off and the rear shock had been broken.
 
Who is selling it? If it is the garage doing the repairs you may get a warranty period from them, or they may sell you a third-party warranty such as Black Horse. Their value is questionable imho
:)
 
I wouldn't buy a repaired cat S. That must surely impact the resale value when you come to move it on

Have you tried to insure the repaired vehicle & declaring it being a cat s , in my experience a repaired motor never feels right.
No chance your getting any warranty, plus have you you ever tried selling a cat vehicle its a pita.

Walk away mate you will regret it.
