Complete wreck (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

total

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'complete' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'wreck' is the second definition.
(to total a vehicle is to damage it beyond repair)

(Other definitions for total that I've seen before include "It might be grand" , "Count" , "Complete, entire amount" , "Everything added together" , "Unqualified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Telegraph and The Sun.
