Putting a Cat C Write off back on the road

Hi, A few weeks ago I was rear ended (behave!) which did minor damage to the back bumper. The third party's assessor has written the car off (it's a 99 Almera) but reckons a tiny bit of bodywork is more than enough to have it roadworthy, especially as I'm leaving the country in October and only need it to last me another…

Hi,

A few weeks ago I was rear ended (behave!) which did minor damage to the back bumper. The third party's assessor has written the car off (it's a 99 Almera) but reckons a tiny bit of bodywork is more than enough to have it roadworthy, especially as I'm leaving the country in October and only need it to last me another 6/7 weeks. The car passed it's NCT in April.

In order to get it back on the road, I've to have it declared roadworthy by an assessor at my own cost and send the report to my insurer.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How do I go about it? Any idea of ballpark estimates for how much it might cost for the report?

All help greatly appreciated!

I had a TP assessor round the other month.

Ball park cost might be 130-odd. IIRC.
