If it’s a risk I might ask her if she want to pay to get it checked or go via insurance to
Cover the check/repairs

Do the rear door gaps look ok and do doors and tailgate / boot open and lock ok ? Some damage can be hidden but floor of boot may be rippled. I know your no claims may be affected even in strong no fault claim, seems silly but it happens.
Making a claim will cover you against any future effects of whiplash. Too many people messing with phones on the road these days and too many distractions with touch screens in vehicles, they may check her phone records to see if she was on phone at time of crash.
