Help with 3rd party without MOT

It's irrelevant to the issue
Let the insurers resolve the issue of liability
If you want to pursue the claim directly against the third party insurer then comply with their request for details
Have you reported this to your own insurer?
There were no witnesses and no CCTV. I have no other evidence as to the liability of this collision. There's nothing else I can do regarding this, I've provided my insurers with all I can regarding the actual collision.
All I have is that fact that his car could be un-roadworthy. I've told my insurers that he has no MOT, but I've not told them about the advisories/recall yet.
No nit picking as accused by another thread, irrespective of the 3rd party vehicle status, could the incident be deemed as shared liability?
(take away the bias).
No chance.
I was in the inside lane going straight over a roundabout (as per the road markings). I indicated to come off and the vehicle on my outside cut across me.
There is damage to the front of my car, corroborating these events.
Nope, nothing here will help you.
The fact that the collision occurred on a roundabout is the reason why they are disputing liability. Dash cam would be very useful.
It will either be 50/50 or if the balance of probabilities based on each account of events the insurers settle on 100% non fault.
Good lucks, you will need all of them.
Correct.
However there were 3 lanes.
1 going left only (1st exit) and two going straight over. There isn't a 3rd exit.
The road worthiness is irrelevant ( unless you are saying that this is why it collided with you!)
Just leave it to the insurers to resolve
It could be why he collided with me.
How can he prove otherwise without a valid MOT certificate?
Or....how can you prove that is the reason the collision occurred?
These are the sort of questions that may be raised whilst the two parties debate whether shared liability is the final conclusion.
