107 Entering vehicles on the register of written‑off vehicles
The Secretary must enter details of a motor vehicle on the register of written-off vehicles if—
(a) information about the vehicle is given to the Secretary by any of the following—
(i) an insurer or self-insurer under regulation 101;
(ii) a motor wrecker under regulation 102;
(iii) a motor car trader under regulation 103;
(iv) the registered operator of the motor vehicle following a determination under section 16C(1)(b) of the Act;
(v) the person who was the registered operator of the vehicle; or
(b) the Secretary otherwise considers that the motor vehicle has been written off.
Section 16D(2A) of the Act states that, in entering a motor vehicle on the register of written-off vehicles, the Secretary is entitled to rely on a determination made by an insurer or self-insurer under section 16C(1)(b) that a written-off vehicle is a statutory write-off or a repairable write-off and is not required to make any enquiries of the Secretary's own in relation to the matter before entering the motor vehicle on the register.
