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’.
