Fraudsters often sell NON-REPAIRABLE (also known as IRREPARABLE) vehicles to unsuspecting consumers for a profit. Vehicles with a NON-REPAIRABLE brand assigned by a provincial ministry of transportation can never be registered for operation on any Canadian road.
A vehicle can be branded NON-REPAIRABLE for a variety of reasons such as, but not limited to, FLOOD, FIRE, or COLLISION.
Why is a FLOOD vehicle branded NON-REPAIRABLE?
Any vehicle that has been subjected to flooding to the level of the bottom of the dash must be branded as non-repairable. With water damaged electronic components, potential mould and other issues, flood vehicles are unsafe and can no longer be operated on any Canadian road. Every Canadian jurisdiction follows this same guideline.
Use our free VIN Verify service to check whether a vehicle has been reported as non-repairable in Alberta, Ontario and Atlantic Provinces.
