How do you find a writeoff category

Been looking at a bike on fb marketplace, he mentions it has been catagorised, but he does not know what, how do I find out ?

Category C write off (that’s the worst one) in May 2017.

It’s had 7 owners, most recent one from Jan 2023

Tbh that wouldn't worry me - Cat.C kicks in when repair value is over 100% of value, something that could happen easily with a bit of tank damage on an old bike. Obviously it has to be plenty cheap.

It’s the 3rd worse one technically, but it’s the worst one on a bike that’s on the road. Cat A and B cars shouldn’t be available for someone to buy and use on the road.

It depends on the value of the bike and how much it’s up for.
