Insurance - theres always a problem.
 

Well, 3 weeks after the engineer made it out to look at my bike, I get my offer letter in.

Wasn't for the amount I had thought I agreed of £3275, was instead for the lesser amount of £3272.

Then I remembered that he had originally valued it at the first figure based on 5k miles on it - the lower figure was derived based on the tru mileage of 12k miles.

so £3 for 7k miles :)

Did notice however that they have made a mistake, and list my excess as £100 instead of £250 :)

Now the problem I referred to.

Can find ALL the documentation - except for my V5, must have mis-filed it after I got my new Tax Disk in August.

So time to turn the house upside down.

Still no news on buy-back offer

I haven't heard a thing from my insurance company since they told me it was written off, but I can't do anything about sorting a new one yet as I'm still house bound, so it aint a problem.
Nice result there Soul, hope I'm that lucky & I hope you find the V5.

I had to phone them teice to chase the letter up - my insurance broker even chased them up too.

Glad to read everything has gone smoothly with regard to your claim.

Assessor seemes as surprised as I was :)

So if you are selling a high mileage bike - just tell the seller that insurance co's see 2k miles to only devalue by ?1 :)
