I cant see them writing that off.

That looks like a quite simple repair job. Can't see the car being written off.

You need to learn to drive.

I cant see that being a write off. What did you hit? Concrete? wood?

Are the wheels straight, suspension OK?

Does it drive OK?

Take it and get a 4 wheel alignment check or go to a big body shop that has alignment jigs and get them to check it.

Until the repairer starts pulling apart the damaged bits, it’s quite hard to tell the full extent of the damage.

But there’s lots of soft points at the front of a car, I’d be very surprised if any of the sub frame is twisted.

Just let the insurance sort it now, no pint worrying.

Well a 1 year old car thats already been damaged twice before this episode doesnt speak well.

Anyway, that picture doesnt show anything looking too bad. Bumper, reinforcement behind bumper, rad, few other bits.

Pop the bonnet and look to see what damage is apparent in the engine bay. Any ripples in the inner wings?
Does it look like either wheel has been pushed back?

Headlamps broken? if so are they fancy ones? LED/xenon (cant see washers so assume not).

Bonnet prob not closing due to bumper and poss cross member.

Why start another thread asking the same question as your last one?

Depends what damage is underneath and what it’s current value would be down as.

The seat will be fine with a good Vax session. Pretty sure they don’t replace them due to a milkshake spillage!

If you’ve got no hire car cover you’ll need to sort your own transport as these things can take many weeks to come to a conclusion.

"There....."They're classing it as my fault ,long story"

No ,it's very short ,it WAS your fault.

Nobody made you drive like a tool and hit a roundabout.
