Recovery truck ran over my keys

tedted

if he had an advisory last year saying a pass and advise but the rust will need doing for next year and he was on his way for the rust repairs to be carried out he would be ok

I can't see you really have a claim against anyone here. RAC aren't guaranteeing a time, and in any event the police could have beaten them to it (and are entitled to do so). Leaving the keys where you did risks this sort of thing happening.

Not 100% sure about that as I've just found the following snip on another site which suggests not. 

"(A) for the purpose of delivering it by previous arrangement at, or bringing it away from, a place where work is to be or has been done on it to remedy for a further examination the defects on the ground of which the test certificate was refused;" 

So looks like yes if it is to repair defects noted on a refusal certificate but not otherwise. An advisory from a previous year does not automatically qualify in that resect as you would have had an entire year already to deal with any advisories.

You have no idea who drove over the key and more so highly unlikely that it was the recovery
