My niece had an accident at the weekend and her car is costing £3000 to repair - the other party accepted liability after she saw the video evidence recorded by the car behind. Thank goodness for dash-cams and a very helpful witness.

She has asked me if she has to declare the repair if she trades her car in or is it 'buyer beware' ?. I recall being asked the question when we sold or RRS but wondered if this is standard practice by dealers nowadays or whether it will be routinely recorded by HPI in any case ? FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Nowadays a little crash repair is so expensive you said the car is repairable and at £3000 it can't be that much needed. With the repairs now you can't even tell. If it goes to an insurance approved bodyshop you don't need to say anything. Lots of people buy cars from dealers that have had body work repairs.

No need to declare it. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

2012 RRS SDV6 HSE -Orkney Grey with A/B bodykit - Now Gone
2007 RRS TDV6 HSE - Zermatt Silver - Gone

Usual thing applies - if they ask you a direct question then you must answer truthfully but you don't have to volunteer information that isn't directly requested. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

When you p/x a car the dealer is buying it from you; they will complete a buying-in form which will record mileage and any serious accident details.

You could auction it, then you would be advised to state if the car was 'seriously' damaged.

If its not 'serious' its your choice !

Thanks fellas. All reassuring  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
