Hi, Having had a cat d accident through fault of other driver, I bought the car back from insurance co.,got car repaired,(cheaper than Ins.quoted & sold car on. If u do this, u will need to have repair checked at a vosa centre, who will certify repair car is in roadworthy condition. My insurance renewal did not increase afterwards & I drove the car under old mot before & after repair.

vosa only check cat c or below
they check for cloning only
unless you submit a dangerous cabbage

Oh dear, sorry for incorrect advice. It was a cat c. No intention to mislead. Thanks for pointing out incorrect details.

you insurance company could insist on a new mot or inspection report before giving you full cover

Make that "will insist". This is why you need a new MOT - the old one is still valid legally, but no insurers will touch you without a new MOT certificate.

how much will an inspection report cost and where from? VOSA?

I didn't have to get a new MOT when I repaired my car. That was also a C.

Yep, it is VOSA and from memory I think it was £80 but you only need one on cat C cars, cat D cars don't need them
