Hi all Was rear ended (probably about 30kph) in May 2018. At the time of accident it was just the rear bumper that was damaged (that I could see). A week later needed to top up coolant.

Did the valeting myself so that cost me the materials and time (which I don’t really care about claiming on).

Car has since been sold. Got 15 month nct on her. Changed the pads all round (as old ones wherent working correctly after sitting up for 3 years) even though she passed the nct but wanted it right when selling as I would hope someone I bought a car off had it right too. So that’s one less thing to worry about.

Also had to sign an affidavit for discovery so looks like the case could be moving forward (will be 4 years this May).
