About Us

Looking for a reliable, great-value used car in East Sussex? At CatCarz, we specialise in expertly restored Category N vehicles. These are cars with minor cosmetic damage that are structurally sound, safe, and ready for the road. Based in Piltdown, Uckfield, we proudly serve customers across Crowborough, Lewes, Haywards Heath, and the wider East Sussex area.

We offer an honest, professional service with a clear focus on high-quality cars, exceptional value, and complete peace of mind.

Used Category N Cars: A Smarter Way to Buy

Since we launched in 2022, we’ve seen how insurance companies often write off cars with only minor damage, such as a dented panel or pothole scuff, simply to speed up the claims process. These vehicles are often in excellent mechanical condition, and many were never intended to be replaced by their original owners.

At CatCarz, we see this as an opportunity to offer our customers lightly damaged vehicles that have been professionally repaired and thoroughly inspected, without the inflated prices found elsewhere.

Our Process: Safe, Transparent and Cost-Effective

We purchase vehicles directly from insurers, not auctions, and restore them using genuine or high-quality replacement parts. Our repair work is carried out by experienced specialists and supported by a trusted network of dismantlers and service providers.

We do not sell Category S vehicles. Every car we offer has no structural damage and has passed our safety checks.
Every car comes with a six-month warranty, covering up to £1,000 per claimable item, for added peace of mind.
Thanks to our efficient sourcing and repair process, we are able to pass substantial savings on to you.

Whether you’re looking for your first car, a second run-around, or an affordable family vehicle, you will find genuine value and trust at CatCarz.

Can You Insure a Category N Car?

Yes. Insuring a Category N car is straightforward. Many people assume otherwise, but in reality, there are no complications. A quick conversation with your insurer or a search online will confirm how simple it is.

The Category N classification is not recorded on the V5C (logbook), so arranging insurance is just as easy as with any other used car.
