What we find underneath shells of resold written-off cars is just shocking

According to a
Moneyweb article, unsuspecting used vehicle buyers are purchasing cars without knowing they have been previously written off because the registration code of the vehicle â possibly through fraud, bribery and corruption â has not been amended to reflect this.
Not only does this lead to consumers purchasing a used vehicle at an inflated price but these rebuilt vehicles are often unroadworthy and dangerous to drive and require the new owners to spend a significant amount of money to get them into a safe and roadworthy condition.
