Are you minimising total loss claims?

For insurers, total loss decisions are a balancing act between cost control and customer satisfaction. But what if the right data could help you reduce claims costs while ensuring fair settlements?

Harnessing data effectively can drive cost savings by:

🔍 Providing highly accurate pre-accident valuations and history checks – ensuring settlement offers reflect true market value.

🚘 Analysing salvage market data – understanding real-world outcomes to optimise write-off decisions.

With One Auto API, you can access automotive data from leading providers through one platform, making it easier and faster to optimise total loss decisions.

📋 Not all vehicles are salvaged equally!

When vehicles are sold for salvage, they fall into specific categories. Here’s a quick run down in order of volume:

1️⃣ Cat N (Non-Structural Damage) – repairable write-offs, usually involving bodywork damage.

2️⃣ Cat S (Structural Damage) – repairable damage affecting the structural integrity of the vehicle.

3️⃣ Unrecorded (U) – not categorised for the MIAFTR register, this category includes structural and non-structural damage, as well as vehicles deemed uneconomical for repair by dealers, fleets and private sellers - typically the more problematic category for buyers relying on a limited description and inspection report

4️⃣Cat B (Breaker) – too damaged to return to the road, but may be purchased and dismantled for valuable parts by an Approved Treatment Facility (ATF).

5️⃣ Cat X (Stolen/Recovered) – typically involving minimal damage, this category is typically considered lower risk by salvage buyers, offering greater speed and ease of repair

⚠️ Why does this matter?

Understanding salvage categories is crucial when assessing vehicle value, risk and suitability for resale.
