2023 Suzuki Across E-Four Hybrid Auto – Front and Side Damage, Starts and Drives, Repairable, CAT-S Salvage

Description

So, I’ve got a 2023 Suzuki Across E-Four hybrid auto here – 73 reg – with some front and side damage. It starts up and runs, so it’s not completely dead, but it’s not in great shape. It’s been through an insurance claim, so it’s a salvage vehicle and has a CAT-S classification. It’s repairable, but it’s not something you’d go out and drive on the road without a full inspection and repair work.

I’m not selling it as "perfect" or "road-ready" – it’s exactly as it is. If you’re thinking about buying it, you’ll need to come see it in person. I’d strongly suggest bringing your own mechanic or a vehicle engineer to check out the damage properly. There’s no warranty here, and once you take it off the site, it’s your responsibility to make sure it’s safe to drive.

The damage means it’s not allowed on public roads until it’s fully repaired and meets all legal standards. Even if it has a MOT, that doesn’t mean it’s safe – it might have been damaged after the test. You’ll need a new MOT once it’s fixed.

I’ve got the reg and VIN numbers if you want them – just give me a ring. I’m Shaun or Dave – either one works. The office is open 9am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, and we’re happy to arrange delivery anywhere in the UK, though that comes at extra cost.

All vehicles are sourced from insurers, so they’re not personal cars – no private plates, no guarantee on mileage or interior bits like sat nav maps or charging plugs (especially on hybrid models). Some of the details on sites like eBay or Gumtree are filled in automatically and might not be 100% accurate – I’d recommend doing your own checks.

If you pay by bank transfer, it’s cleared and the car’s released straight away. Cash payments at the site or bank are accepted, but there’s a 2% handling fee. Any deposits are non-refundable.

If you don’t collect it by the agreed date, we’re free to keep it or resell it.

Just be honest with yourself – this isn’t a showroom car. It’s a real one, with real damage. If you’re after something practical, maybe with a bit of budget and a bit of DIY work, this could be worth a look. But don’t trust the online descriptions – come see it.
