Its a Vehicle Identity Check - applicable ( I think) to cars that have been stolen and then recovered.

It's for when vehicles are put back on the road after being insurance write off's to ensure it's not 2 cars weleded into one amongst other things.

Yes category C insurance write offs must have a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) before they can get a new log book.
You dont get the log book when you buy a Cat C repairable vehicle.

Category D you get the log book with the car
