Rear ended, settlement too good to be true?

Just re the question of whether a high settlement figure is too good to be true. I would say, not necessarily, it depends on the circumstances. It's possible to end up beating the system, quite legitimately and due to genuine accidents, just from the way that insurance companies calculate their settlement figures.
I recently wrote off my car which only cost £1000 in the first place. They gave me £900 and let me keep the car. This was helped by the age of the car. Their valuation was about 10% of the new price of the car, which for a 10 year old car was really generous.

If you heat that up with a hot air gun (carefully) the dent should pop out.
