They'll never write it off for a dent in the boot lid and a bumper damage, on a 51 reg car though.

as long as your sure theres no damage on the boot floor - even a slight crease  

[JamesV6CDX]

There is a flaw in that idea.

1) I had 2 NON FAULT accidents the year before last, as a result, many insurance companies won't go near me. So I don't need another against my record.

2) Veccy has just failed it's MOT, one of which for a safety related suspension component. While my current MOT is still valid, I'm not sure the insurance would be overly impressed if they knew this.

3) I want the car sold, and the money to fund an Omega. I could wait for weeks for insurance to go through.

Errrr... don't be so sure it is still valid. If it has failed an MOT test I believe that means it now has not MOT.  :-/

Gack! I'll definately steer clear of insurance then, and get him to pay for my bumper

I think since the last year one is still valid he will be OK - he has the valid peice of paper to wave

Pretty sure the old one is still valid, but as stated on the MOT form it is no guarantee that the car is roadworthy, and seeing that you know of a fault that would cause an MOT failure, it could be argued that the car is knowingly not roadworthy :-/

I think it's unlikely they'd dig into such details for a minor non-fault accident, but I do agree with James in that it's a lot of hassle to go through when you may not come out of it better off anyway.

If a new MOT has been performed on a car, even if the old one is still current then this will override the old one..... unless it hasn't been entered on the new system at each stage.... which of course never happens  

The mechanic who has always done mine won't enter the details on the system if he already knows it will fail, allows me time to get it sorted as I take it in a week early usually.

I was gonna suggest also going through his insurance purely for the sake of his stupid a$$ driving, but if it's gonna do you no favours then i see your way of thinking!

cant claim for whiplash without an insurance claim tho can ya?

dont bet on it - there could be all sorts of chassis damage done. Been there before
