Insurance claim without MOT

[danroll]

Hi,
My inaws have been involved in a car accident this weekend. The other driver pulled out in front of them. He's admitted full liability and the police have confirmed that he will be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.

My father in law has been collecting insurance documents etc together this morning and has noticed that unfortunately his MOT has expired two weeks ago. 

How will this affect his claim? As it is a genuine oversight will this be overlooked? 

The car underwent a full service in July and the mechanic has advised that he is more than happy to go on record confirming the cars roadworthiness if needs

Thanks

oops, grammar error put a comma between major & claim ! meaning its has to be a major issue before a claim is thrown out.. More often than not these tend to be conflicting statements on claims & proposal forms or undeclared points.
