A Gas van ran into the back of my Fiesta this morning. It doesn't look like there was any damage however I have concerns. Could there be any hidden damage? Has anyone any experience of this. Also my bumper is colour coded could it have caused any damage to this . I.e will the paint peel or anything? Am gutted have only had the car for 3 months.

Depends on the impact speed. Check the boot floor under the mat very closely for ripples and creasing. Do the same for the rear quarter panels and the roof. Does the hatchback open and close as easily as it did? Is the front edge of the bumper on either side still in line with rear wheel arch. Are there any hairline cracks in the bumper paint? I would get a bodyshop to examine the structure of the car very closely particularly as it was something as large as a van. I assume you exchanged details even though there appeared to be no damage? More importantly have you got any symptoms of whiplash injury?

I echo those wise words. Generally most body shops will provide free estimates anyway.

Am taking it in to the Ford accident repair centre tonight and they are going to check it for me. Fingers crossed its ok.
