He has been told its got to be MOTd again (I presume to make sure its roadworthy after the accident). I think he's got it booked in to be VIC checked at Chelmsford next week, his insurance is up for renewal next week anyway so at least he can tell the current company to go do one if needbe!! Bit of a pain but at least he's got £1100 in the bin and the car still. As said its not worth a lot anyway so worth breaking for parts when he comes to sell it, sure the engine will be worth a few hundred squid, then wheels and weigh it in!
