    The OR may take it an give her an allowance to buy a cheaper car, usually around the £2k mark.

    Yeah peachyprice is right. Just plead your partners use of the car and see how you go.

    The other option is to sell the car for market value, buy another of around £1500, pay the BR fees with some of the surplus and give the OR what's left.
