Category B Vehicles
Subsequent actions
Following an upload of a CoD serial number, a random selection of vehicles will be subject to further auditing. You may receive an e-mail detailing the vehicles involved and will be asked to forward copies of the completed CoDs to Bluecycle.
It is a requirement of Bluecycle’s Terms and Conditions that within one month of purchase, a CoD is completed for the vehicle and its details are uploaded onto Bluecycle. Customers are also required to forward copies of the completed CoD on request. Failure to comply will result in exclusion from future Bluecycle auctions.
Quality assurance
Audit details should be sent to Bluecycle for all Category B purchases in accordance with Section 15 of our Terms and Conditions.
Why do Bluecycle audit?
Category B salvage is sold under the strict condition it is never returned to the road. Bluecycle’s audit process is in place to ensure vehicles are dismantled to a satisfactory standard.
How to complete the audit
The following conditions are in place for all Category B vehicles. Please ensure these conditions are maintained in all cases:
- A CoD should be completed using the DVLA online system for all Category B vehicles purchased from Bluecycle
- Details of the CoD should be forwarded to Bluecycle within one month of the vehicle purchase
- A copy of the CoD should be retained for possible further auditing
- Motorcycles are required to have the headstock removed from the frame. This should be retained and will be subject to further auditing
- All vehicles with a separate cab and chassis are required to have the chassis section holding the stamped VIN cut out. This should be retained for further auditing.
