    I don't really understand the question. do you mean a tracker which locates where the car is if stolen?   if it has not been reported stolen then I don't see a problem.

    But if it was crashed it is probably noted as an insurance write off on HPI.

    Do you have a V5 registration document in your name?   does it say anything on it about it being a previously damaged car?

    They can be category C or D depending on level of damage and what the insurance company 'recorded' it as.  If crashed and no insurance claim made it is sometimes advertised as 'not-recorded'.  

    cars which are recorded are worth less. And some insurance companies don't want to insure them for you.

    Are you getting mixed up with this?
