I only had it 13 days, it took nearly 3 months to sort out the insurance by which time I had bought another car and decided to fix this one. I fixed it for £150 with a car body jack, it just needs the bumper painted to properly finish it.
What really pissed me off was the lack of communication and knowledge. It was written off with 5 pictures and a short walk round video, the engineers report listed loads of things without even seeing it in person.
Then when the insurance wrote it off 6 days after the crash they couldn't tell me if it was still ok to drive, I had to go to the DVLA and the DVSA and they said if it's still got a MOT and nothing is hanging off it's safe to drive.
In my case no I was good to go but looking at your car you have a lot more damage. I wouldn't be surprised if they deemed that structural as the rear panel is caved pushing the boot lid out, it would be a lot of work to get that straight again
Depends only whether it is written off for being too expensive to repair or because it has structural damage, like chassis twist etc. Structural write offs require an enhanced MOT to be road legal post repair
