What is a VIC check?
A. Some Cat C vehicles (Not Motorcycles) may need a Vehicle Identity Check before DVLA will release a logbook to you. Its designed to confirm the cars identity and helps ensure that the genuine car is returned to the road. It takes around 20 minutes to complete and involves comparing the details on the DVLA vehicle record, against the car presented. The VIC is a check of identity, it doesnt formally assess the quality of the repair or confirm roadworthiness.
