Motorhome - Write off/ BER - strange but true
I’ve got an inspector coming to do an inspection on my old motorhome which was involved in a non-injury RTA.
The vehicle is driveable as far as I know , but I’ve noticed tne front end collision at a low speed has bent the hinge on one side of the bonnet , meaning, at the moment the bonnet can’t be opened.
When tney do tne inspection, are they likely to just say they can’t open tne bonnet and write it off, or will they open it.
If so am I entitled to ask for a breakdown of the repair costs
I have fully comprehensive insurance.
Are there any questions I should ask? I’d like to keep the vehicle if possible, any advice please.

Even if they do write it off, you can still keep it and have it repaired.
