But you have his name and address, registration number and the name and address of the owner if it's not his car?

Yes I have all that.

His vehicle is showing as no mot or tax. I've just checked and his car does have insurance.

So he hasn't mot'd or taxed his car, do you think he has the funds to repair yours?

Mummy and daddy said they will pay.

Tell them your cars a write off and you want market value for it. They'll back down as most don't consider the cost of a hire car when yours is in for repair. They expect you to have a quick cash job done at mates rates.

I did think how am I going to get to work if they paid for my car to be fixed. I think they knew the car didn't have a mot or tax so they thought they would pay to keep their son out of trouble. If I was the one who hit his car I bet they would have soon asked for my insurance details. I will see what the garage says tomorrow then text them what they say or I'm contacting my insurance company. If I go through the insurance should I mention he mentioned his mot.

His not having an mot is irrelevant to your claim.

Claim direct from his company if you go down the insurance route.
