If your vehicle is classed as ‘seriously damaged’ you cannot register it with DVLA. You will not be refunded for any VAT and duty or vehicle approval fee you paid before trying to register the vehicle.
Serious damage means the vehicle cannot be repaired. For UK vehicles this means it’s a category A or B insurance write-off.
For imported vehicles, it might say something like ‘statutory write-off’, ‘scrapped’ or ‘non-repairable’ on the registration certificate.
Check with the registration authority for the country the vehicle is from to find out if the vehicle is ‘seriously damaged’.

DVLA might need to inspect your vehicle. If your application is approved, DVLA will send you a vehicle log book (V5C).
Your V5C shows:
•the vehicle’s registration number
•the vehicle keeper’s name and address
•other information about the vehicle (the make, vehicle identification number (VIN) and number of previous keepers)
DVLA will also return your identity documents.
