Well done Paul!
Just goes to show how the depreciation in value (not all the the same things as 'deririration in condition) of cars falls off a cliff within 5 - 7 years from new. I believe that one of the things that writes cars off with only minor impact damage in accidents is the cost of replacing air bags, especially now that some cars have air bags in door pillars and doors - not just in the dasbboard/steering wheeel.
(BTW, I assume that when you said the MOT runs till 21 Jan 2004, that you actually mean 2014 or you'll have Mark on your tail - nee naw, nee naw!)
