They were circa £15,500 new, 4 years later it has 170k on it and effectivley bought for less than £2000

Shitter that mate.
I would say this much, ask for a buy back price if it is written off, i dare add the engine and gearbox are still sweet?
Front end parts are most sought after if there mint, you could potentially make money on top of this inconvienience
