What must a vehicle receive to be rebranded as rebuilt?

To rebrand a vehicle as rebuilt, it must undergo significant inspections and repairs that ensure it meets safety and operational standards after being declared a total loss. A Structural Repair Certificate is specifically required because it confirms that the vehicle's structural integrity has been restored according to safety regulations.

This certificate indicates that all significant repairs have been performed correctly and that the vehicle is safe to operate on the road, which is crucial for both consumer safety and compliance with legal standards. In contrast, a new paint job, a Safety Standards Certificate, or a Vehicle Identification Number do not by themselves verify that the vehicle has been properly repaired and is safe for use. A Safety Standards Certificate might be part of the process but doesn’t confirm structural integrity specifically, making the Structural Repair Certificate the essential document for rebranding a vehicle as rebuilt.
