I am not sure. I last had an accident when I was 24 (I am nearly 51 now), so I would hope the insurance company view this as a slighly isolated incident.
I will be genuinely sorry to see the BMW go as I have owned it from new and really enjoyed it but it is a 530iSE Auto Touring, does 23mpg (if you are lucky), is insurance group 34 and road tax £280. But for all that a great car and still comfortable today and steering and acceleration all feel really good,
The Mokka 1.7 Techline 4x4 does 58mpg, has 4x4 (which I need in my part of Scotland), is insurance group 12 and road tax £0 in first year and £105 thereafter. It also has a 100,000 warranty and a lot of kit (incl standard bluetooth and satnav)
I am very unexcited about the Mokka (in fact I bought it without a test drive although I did sit in it and it is quite roomy and probably better value than a Yeti). I now commute 70-80 miles a day and the petrol cost of the BMW is a killer - so a head decision not a heart one.
