Insurance Declared • Statutory Write-Off
Cash for Cars: Statutory Insurance Write-Off Melbourne
When an insurer declares a vehicle a statutory insurance write-off, it cannot be returned to the road. While this closes the chapter on registration, it does not remove the car’s remaining value.
What is a statutory insurance write-off?
A statutory insurance write-off is a vehicle written off by an insurer due to serious safety or structural damage. In Victoria, these vehicles cannot be re-registered, but they can still be sold for parts and recycling value.
Why insurers declare statutory write-offs
Major accident damage, fire, flood, or severe structural compromise.
What value remains
Components, metals, and salvageable materials still hold measurable worth.
Why sell instead of storing
Clear space, avoid ongoing costs, and finalise the insurance outcome.
