Well i don't think it would pass the MOT, as the nearside light is up in the air slightly. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't adjust downwards enough. Plus the bumper just wont fit as it is. I presume it would be illegal to drive without a bumper!
As it is classed as a category "S", it needs to be MOT'd and then a form sent off to get it re registered.

Shame. I'm sure with a bit of TLC it could be all set right but at the end of the day if you feel it best to let it go then it sounds like its game over

If it makes you feel better my offside headlamp was extremely high after my crash, plus i had to duct tape the indicator in to stop it falling out, passed the MOT after they (somehow) adjusted the beam (for free). I also drove around for a whole day minus a bumper and wasn't stopped. I did ask if it would pass an MOT without and all Volvo could say was 'interesting question', worth a shot IMHO.

V70 now straightened and the replacement parts fitted. The cost of straightening the chassis was £1000, the cost of the parts was £100. I am happy to have the incorrect bumper colour for the time being, it looks better than i thought it would!
I just need to get it MOT'd and back on the road. 😎 Ok, so i have learnt how to resize my photos, but i cant stop them from turning 90 % could 4x4 come to my rescue again please!

Seconded! Top man. It probably doesn't make economic sense, but sometimes that's not the point eh? Well done for taking the time and effort and saving it, it's looking sweet.
