Default Dezzy needs help

I need some advice from someone in the know.

I won't go into too much detail but the wife's car has been hit, at fault accident. Ok no major everyone is ok an all that but the car looks a bit sorry for itself.

It's been taken away and i've had a call from the matey, and he's going to CAT B it. Now thats taken me by surprise a bit as it's doesn’t look twisted, inner wings have no stress marks ect, ect. I was thinking in the worst case they write it off and i put it back bla, bla, bla, wing, door, bumper, headlight and front suspension and a bit of paint, as i can't replace it for anywhere near what they'll pay out.

Now i asked him how twisted the car is and he's said he doesn't know. He’s not going to jig it. So how can he be so sure it’s unsafe / fit to ever go back on the road if he’s not going to check it?

Apparently it’s down to his experience. I thought we were trying to stop living in these throw away societies and reuse recycle but apparently not.

So I suppose my question is this right and how can I make them check to see if it is NEVER to be allowed on the road again.
