Dear Sirs

Re: Road Traffic Accident 14/06/2024: Mr Simon Cooper

In accordance with your instructions received on 18/06/2024 asking us to provide an accident damage report, we have
considered the supplied documentation and our findings are detailed below:

Vehicle Details Vehicle Damage


Make Mini Repair Cost £2,945.75

Repair Summary
Following our examination of the accident damage, we would recommend the vehicle be dealt with on a total loss basis. At the
time of our examination we did not identify any structural damage in line with the ABI Salvage Code Of practice and
recommend the vehicle be dealt with on a category 'N' (Non Structural damage) however, this is based on a visual inspection
only and should latent damage to structural damage become apparent we reserve the right to alter the total loss
categorisation. As a result of the vehicle being a total loss we suggest settlement be sought in the sum of £2,731.48 being the
pre accident value after deducting the salvage.

We are not aware of any outstanding recovery or storage charges.

The vehicle can be returned to use if repaired to a safe and legal standard, or alternatively the salvage should be disposed of
in accordance with the Code of Practice for the disposal of motor vehicle salvage produced by the ABI and the vehicle may be
listed on MIAFTR. The vehicle may be returned to use assuming repairs are carried out to a safe standard and the vehicle is
capable of passing a M.o.T. test thereafter.

As the inspected vehicle is unroadworthy or undriveable and considered beyond economical repair, in order to prevent any
risks to public safety, breach of legislation or incur any liabilities with insurance or DVLA we suggest it should be moved to
safe storage with immediate effect.

Repair Duration
We consider that this repair will take approximately 1 to 2 working days to complete. This estimated repair cycle is subject to
any constraints with which the repairer may be working to. The cycle may be reasonably extended by the time necessary to
overcome those constraints which may include but not limited to; pandemic-induced UK supply chain and staffing issues.
Restrictions on movement in domestic and non-domestic countries disrupting automotive parts manufacturing. The ongoing
conflict in Eastern Europe affecting parts production and distribution. The recent rising cost of fuel and energy. Brexit
regulations and a shortage of skilled eligible HGV drivers. Increased requirement for outsourced specialist services and
subsequent availability.

Supplementary Damage
We have used Glass's Evaluator (Percayso, Parkers and CAP price guides where necessary) to assist with the valuation of
the vehicle; Glass's Repair Estimate and / or Audatex data to compile the estimate. Parts prices are subject to fluctuations. In
order to mitigate losses we have carried out a basic inspection dealing with the vehicle's damaged area and only visually
checked unrelated patent items; therefore we cannot vouchsafe for the condition or roadworthiness of the remainder of the
vehicle. We have based my valuation upon the mileage reading displayed on the odometer, and assume that the vehicle has
its appropriate documentation such as M.o.T. test certificate where applicable.

We appreciate your instructions and enclose our fee note for your kind attention, which we confirm remains payable
irrespective of the outcome of this case. Please ensure this is passed to your accounts department.

Statement of Truth
I confirm that I have clearly indicated which facts and matters mentioned in this report are based on my personal knowledge
and which are not. I confirm the truthfulness of the facts within my knowledge. The opinions expressed in this report represent
my honest and comprehensive professional views on the matters they pertain to.

I am aware that making a false statement in a document verified by a Statement of Truth, without a genuine belief in its truth,
may result in being held in contempt of court.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Mckeown AMIMI, IMI VDA
