Tbh with that kinda interstellar mileage ?500-600 would be about right. To contest that, you'll need proof of cars to the same spec/age that have sold for that price, not ones that are up for sale - so autotrader isn't really much help there.

Get some independant quotes for repairs from bodyshops. When my 1991 1.2 got hit up the arse, the insurance company put up ?750 to repair it after we got a few quotes.
