I have a 2001 Fiat seicento S that I left at a garage for an M.O.T (which it passed easy) after the MOT the garage decided to park it outside of their premises, don't ask me why; but soon after a box van hit the side of my car. it has hit straight on the B pillar of the car right where the door ends and the back panel begins. it did not cause any noticeable damage to the door apart from maybe a little paint loss right on the edge but has bent the back panel in enough for me to get my hand into the gap and it is level with the lock and door handle. the back panel has also got 4 creases ranging from 4cm long to around 4 inches long, one of which is about a cm in depth. I haven't been able to get inside the car and check the B pillar from the inside as i have left the car in the garages hands to help my case if it becomes legal or anything stupid like that. the over all size of the the dent is not massive only just bigger than my hand but it is deep roughly 2-3 inches. Is my car likely to be a write off? it was in mint condition before hand, only had one previous owner, FSH and only ever had 1 advisable on previous MOT's. it was also only on 57000 miles so damn near perfect for a second hand car.
