Well, that'll teach me. Serves me right for being honest.
I phoned the broker to inform them that the bike had been taken for an MOT and passed with no advisories following the repairs, just to clarify the roadworthiness of the bike for them.
Back came an email stating that I need to forward a copy of the MOT certificate and an engineers report confirming that the bike is roadworthy.
Firstly, the MOT record is freely available on the DVLA website for them to check, secondly, I am not inclined to fork out for an engineers report to confirm what the MOT tester found last week, that the machine is roadworthy.
I have looked through the check list on the DVLA website, and if an engineer can check half of that list in my garage equally as keenly as the MOT tester I'll eat my helmet.
Thirdly, my policy document Page 7 clearly states "In the event of the salvaged bike being subject to another claim, documented evidence of repairs and other documentation will be required to evidence, and to satisfy us, that your bike has been maintained in a roadworthy condition".
So I'm under no obligation to send anything at all to them, but being the smashing chap I am, I have scanned and sent them the MOT certificate and receipts for all parts purchased for the required repairs, reminded them where to find MOT records, and copied in to them Page 7 of the Policy document for their perusal.
The response has been that one of the team will contact me should they require any further information.
I'm not anticipating any further information being required
