Massachusetts classifies titles into Types with Sub-Brands. A sub-brand is a secondary status that must be attached as a defining characteristic to a title to specify how a vehicle was damaged. Salvage-Repairable, Reconstructed and Recovered Theft type titles require a sub-brand.

Clear

A Clear title is assigned to a vehicle with no previous Salvage notations, legends or sub-brands.

Salvage

A Salvage title is assigned to a vehicle that has been declared a total loss resulting from Fire, Vandalism, Collision, Theft, Flood or other occurrence. Salvage titles are further broken down into two categories:

Repairable

A Repairable Salvage title is assigned to a vehicle that has been salvaged but can be repaired. This title requires a sub-brand of Fire, Vandalism, Collision, Theft or Flood.

Parts-Only

A Parts-Only Salvage title is assigned to a vehicle that can only be sold as parts due to excessive damage. The vehicle can never be re-titled or re-registered. A Parts-Only title does not require a sub-brand and is labeled with a junk status.

Reconstructed

A Reconstructed title is assigned to a vehicle previously titled as Salvage-Repairable and has been repaired and inspected. This title requires a sub-brand of Prior Fire, Vandalism, Collision, Theft or Flood.

Recovered Theft

A Recovered Theft title is assigned to a vehicle previously titled as Salvage-Repairable with minimal damage. This title requires a sub-brand of Prior Fire, Vandalism, Collision, Theft or Flood.

Memorandum

A Memorandum title is a nonnegotiable title issued when you bring a vehicle from out-of-state, have a lien on the vehicle and your lien holder has possession of your out-of-state title. A Memorandum title is not valid unless accompanied by the previous out-of-state title.

Owner Retained

An Owner Retained title is issued to a currently registered vehicle appraised as total loss that the owner has opted to keep. An Owner-Retained vehicle is not required to go through the salvage inspection process.
