Hi, my other car is a 3 series coupe and on Monday somebody pulled out from a side road and caught the rear wheel arch and rear quarter panel causing a shallow dent and a scuff mark. Wednesday comes and the insurance investigator visits and decides that it's uneconomical to repair and they will send me a cheque for the value, less 10% for the salvage which means I get to keep the car and do with it what I want. Thursday it was off with the rear wheel and hammer and dolly the dent back out to roughly the right shape and alls well. Friday I get a call saying there's a cheque in the post and it's a category 'c' write off. Now, and here's the question, what do I have to do to satisfy the pencil pushers at DVLA? Do I have to get a VIC check or will an MOT suffice? Do I need both? Do I need either? Sorry it's a bit long winded but searching online produces conflicting results. Anybody have any experience?
