As I said on Instagram Chris it wouldn't personally bother me unless I was spending thousands.
The way I look at it is the car must have been straight for you to not know it was a previous write off so has been repaired well.
Secondly how many cars on the road have been smashed up and unrecorded? How many cars have you bought in the past as 'HPI Clear' but have actually just been repaired.
If it's recorded at least you know it's been repaired well enough to pass a VIC/MOT etc.
I would however go for a lower offer on the basis you weren't told it was written off and also made a long journey today that you would have to make again.
