Gutted Disco 3 HSE has just been rear ended by a 44t artic
I pulled in behind a parked artic on a industrial estate by a butty wagon and the artic reversed straight up my as i waited for oncoming traffic to pass as there was another car in front and then another parked artic hence waiting
damage seems to be smashed rear glass, upper and lower tailgate, crease in the side just in front of rear lights and marks on rear bumper so assuming crush bar behind bumper damaged too.
shame as it was mint and on 180k miles!

You were very clear to see in his mirrors even though your parking was probably not ideal

I'm no expert, but I would have thought that's repairable.
Hope it doesn't spoil your holiday too much.

I would love to say it is repairable but looking at the damage it will probably if going through an insurance company need a new wing plus other bits which will cost a lot of money to fit (insurance price per hour) so my guess it will be very close to a write off. However it looks like it would be a good project to but back and et repaired yourself.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
