Thanks all for the replies, the guy at Tesco is looking and will pass on the reg of the car that hit mine if the camera saw anything, data protection or not they seem to look after their own 😉
if they don’t see anything then it’s tuff luck as the insurance told me it’s a fault claim without the 3rd parties details to claim it back from them. They are going ahead with the claim as a fault for now but if I can supply the details then they’ll change it to non fault, either way my no claims are protected, i have 2 fault claims within 3 years before they impact my no claims. Behind the bumper is damaged, the headlight washer doesn’t work and I see cracked plastic from either the washer or maybe the bumper bracket I can’t tell without having it off so I’m leaving it for the body shop. I am half regretting getting the insurance involved now I’m off the phone to them but It’s done now I hope for the CCTV to come good. I’m hoping for a repair or I will argue that it shouldn’t be written off again and I’ll take the car back or fight for extra money to buy another one with the same spec. As for my premium going up I’ll cross that bridge when i come to it, to be honest they go up for me regardless so I end up switching insurers at renewal time anyway. |

My sons car was hit in a Tesco car park, luckily the offending cars number plate was recorded on CCTV, number was checked on DVLA site, and it came up as untaxed, police not interested, it would have been a nice collar for them i suppose, the best bit was both cars where insured by the same company, son's car was repaired, his excess was paid back, witness statements given to insurers and they can now sort it out, son had to give a statement to coppers about the accident, still nothing heard from them months later.

Having looked at the expanded photo as far as I can see the damage is cosmetic and restricted to the bumper (excluding the headlight washer pop up.) I just don't see where the figure of £3600 (60% of value ) comes from. Firstly I repeat that if the damage is cosmetic and restricted to the NSF bumper a Chips Away type repair would cost somewhere in the region of £250 (based on a repair to my 2017 V90 about 12 months ago). Secondly whilst I have no idea of exactly how much a V70 front bumper costs when I got hit up the back 2 years ago a new, fully pre painted rear bumper for the same 2017 V90 cost somewhere in the region of £1250. It took less than an hour for the repairer to replace (it was an insurance job). It was done whilst I waited.

I also stated above that I don't see £3,600 worth of damage either (That's based on 60% of the cars value), so I agree with you on that & I don't think that this car will be a write off, as I mentioned earlier too. Although, garages do have a tendency to inflate their prices to repair vehicles when an insurance company is paying for the job to earn themselves a nice profit. Of course, I may be wrong, so let the insurance company make their decision on it. I don't see it costing too much to fix & they should cover it, in theory.

I can tell it’s definitely not huge damage but I can see it’s been hit hard enough to push the bumper in and it’s popped back out. The marks they left show this as if the mark was only on the front face of the bumper and not on the upper edge near the headlight then it wouldn’t have broken the washer or the inside plastics, if I was going to repair it myself it would cost about £500 maybe less but the washer and cover alone is around £120 from what I’ve seen then painting if it doesn’t come painted along with the bumper refurbished with a skim of filler and paint, maybe a bumper bracket and bumper bar that runs along the length of the inside of the bumper, Can’t say if it’s affected those or not because I haven’t looked. They will have it apart in the body shop and ‘estimate’ the cost but I imagine they will pump the numbers up because they probably can.
The insurance will take care of it and hopefully give it back to me repaired nicely and I can move on or I’ll have to take the payout after arguing for more then go and buy something else. I’ll find out later today if they did check the cameras and if they got a reg for the car, otherwise it’s my fault 😔 and the bastard gets away with it. |
