NEVDIS Written-off Vehicle Notification

What is the Written Off Vehicle Register (WOVR)

The Written Off Vehicle Register contains vehicles that have been declared a "write-off". This includes vehicles that have been badly damaged and are unsafe to drive. It also includes vehicles where the estimated cost of repair is more than the value of the vehicle.

Written Off Vehicle Types

There are two types of vehicle write-off's. A statutory write-off and a repairable write-off.

  • A statutory write-off is when a vehicle has severe structural damage or deterioration. It is a total loss and no longer safe to drive on road.

  • A repairable write-off is when a vehicle has been assessed as too costly to repair. But, subject to state laws, it can be re-registered for road use, once it has passed a vehicle safety and identity check.

Written Off Vehicle Register (WOVR) Codes

The written-off information can be broken down into three parts:

1. Incident Type

Determined by a letter that represents each of the 6

2. Damage Location

Determined by a number ranging from 1-41 that corresponds to a position on the vehicle

3. Damage Severity

Determined by a letter ranging from A-P that represents the level of severity
