At this point, the focus of the vehicle claim normally moves away from repair costs and towards establishing the vehicle’s pre-accident value.
How is my vehicle valued?
A valuation can take into account the make, model, age, mileage, specification, condition and relevant market information for comparable vehicles.
It’s important that the specific characteristics of your vehicle are properly considered rather than relying solely on a generic figure.
Can I keep my vehicle?
Depending on the salvage category and circumstances, vehicle retention may sometimes be possible.
A salvage value will generally be deducted from the settlement if the vehicle is retained.
