I'm selling my car, a prospective buyer did a AA check-up on my car and the result was Catergory C write-off in 2002. What does this exactly mean?

Oh dear, it means you can't really sell your car without declaring it.
Cat A - The Car should be scrapped and no parts can be taken from it.
Cat B - The Car should be scrapped but certain parts can be taken from it.
Cat C&D - These are normally used for non economical repairs. I.E Not dangerous to drive but the insurance company doesn't want to shell out repairing them.
I suggest you enquire of your insurance company further before proceeding.

Hi, hope this helps.
Category C - Repairable salvage.
Usually applies to vehicles with significant (structural) damage, where cost of repairs exceeds book value.
Category C remains on the vehicle's record at DVLA (and HPI and AA and the others).
By the look of things you probably bought the car without carrying out an HPI check and not noticing on the Log Book that it was a Category C write off.

damaged but repairable. would have cost the insurance company more to repair it than to pay out on a write off.

c is a bad damage but not a complete write off, in otherwords your car has had a make up job
