Totalskadet køretøj eksport (leddit.danmark.party)

Hi, I'm looking to buy a seemingly undamaged car exported from Denmark. I checked its record on motorregister.skat.dk and found a 'Totalskadet køretøj' entry under the Blokeringsstatus section. I couldn't find any specific records of car incidents, where the car could have been damaged.

We randomly checked 29 exported cars from Denmark, and 11 of them had the same 'Totalskadet' record. Out of these, 8 were Toyotas.

Is there a scheme to falsely label cars as totally damaged for export, possibly to reduce taxes? Or is it more likely that damaged cars are being well repaired after the export and sold as undamaged?

Thanks

How old and price range are we talking about?

If they are old, and low value, it can make sense. A vehicle gets a 'totalskadet' status if a repair exceeds x% of the sales value. Read somewhere recently it is 75%, but it was lowered some years ago, so not sure.

I don't know the price range of fx Toyotas spare parts, but there's many scenarios on inexpensice cars where the repair costs forces a car to be totaled.

The cars I was talking about are placed for ~12k euros, manufactured in ~2016.

Ok, then it has to be quite specific damages, I'd guess.

But I am kind of surprised you can get tax registration returned on totaled cars.
