Unlike the US version, the UK version has the presenter buying a newish second hand car which has been written off by the insurer as a result of accident damage from a scrapyard and repair it before selling it off to a buyer. This got me thinking that an importer of recon cars could easily do the same. Are there any controls againts such cases. In UK I understand that a Category D damage is "A damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road.". Such cars could be easily repaired and resold in Msia? see <a href="http://www.autocheck.co.uk/write-off-categories-scrapped-import-export.html#categories" target="_blank">http://www.autocheck.co.uk/write-off-categories-scrapped-import-export.html#categories</a> I am sure cars from Japan pose a similar risk.....esp in Bolehland where anything is possible. What do you guys think? PS You may also be interested in reading a discussion on this programmme and the explaination how it has become uneconomical in UK to repair cars.
