Yeah its funny how some people think that a WOVR car means that it was pancaked, folded in half and will kill them if they get behind the wheel.
A written off vehicle does not mean its beyond repair, it means that its uneconomic for the insurance company to repair.
What they don't take into consideration is that insurance companies repair thousands of cars every day, the car does not have to pass any test at all, so nothing gets checked, so there can, and is some shonky repairs done in the industry just to make a dollar, but its never checked.
Where as a WOVR car has to be inspected for repairs, every step of the repair has to be documented, you have to follow manufacturers repair procedures, anything safety related has to be inspected by a dealer and signed off on, it has to pass a wheel alignment test, then it can go for WOVR where the repairs are thoroughly checked, and only if done right it is passed, then has to go over the pits for a further inspection, then it can be relicensed.
So theoretically its more safer than a repaired car that hasn't been checked?
I can change airbags at work, once the car is finished the car goes to the customer, no dealer checks, but if I change them at home on a WOVR car, it has to be inspected by a dealer for them to report of its function and resistances, for safety
