Hi everyone, I am looking at purchasing a Peugot 208gti (2015) and on the V5C in the special notes it says this, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SALVAGED BECAUSE THE ESTIMATED COST OF COMMERCIAL REPAIR WAS NORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, i know this refers to it being written off, but the problem is when I run a HPI check of the car it comes up as clear for any insurance write off, can the special comment be removed if they are wrong? On the V5 it says they cannot, any help or advice would be appreciated thanks!
