It is only recorded stolen/recovered if the insurance company involved have paid out for a total loss. If it is recovered this does not apply, hence the appeal of a tracker. Unless they turn up at a burnt out shell!

Accident damaged means the car has been written off as the cost of repair exceeded about 75% of the market value, but the car is not so badly damaged that it is irrepairable. Hence some people buy busted cars from the scrappy really cheap and do them up. Then it is HPI recorded.

thanks for that - I'm definetly getting a tracker for the Edition 30 now...

Good to see it's back so quick Phil! Hope you managed to remove a few layers of rubber from the Polo's fronts?
