    Hi, sorry but this is not true - Category C requires you to present the vehicle for an inspection, or VIN Check - this check though does not ensure that the car repair (if you have done it yourself) is road worthy though, it is purely to establish that it is the same vehicle before the accident; ie, checking vin plate, chassis, reg etc.

    Category D does not require this as is usually means the vehicle has had light damage and category E does not exist...

    Things may have changed since my claims day but category E did exist but was so rare that it was almost never taught in training. It was for a vehicle that was deemed a total loss after the repairs had already been carried out. If you look at the below link it outlines the rare catagory E further down the page.
