Received a civil money claim - please help!

[R0b]

So I think para. 4/5 overlap a little bit - might be worth incorporating them together. Rest of it looks ok to me.

The Claimant alleges that the car has previously been in an accident and therefore the mileage is incorrect, but I fail to see the relevance of what that has to do with the car’s mileage. It does not automatically follow that because the vehicle may have been in accident - that the vehicle did not accrue the mileage as stated on the advert. The mileage stated on the advert was taken directly from the odometer. Furthermore, I have checked vehicle’s MOT history on https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ which confirms that the last recorded mileage was 42,704 miles (with the rest of the mileage being accrued whilst in my possession). In addition to this, the HPI check that I done prior purchasing the car stated no mileage issues. The Claimant is required to prove by way of expert evidence the causal link between the car having been in an accident and the stated mileage.

Hello guys,
Just an update as of today the claimant has rejected my defence and wishes to proceed. This is the current status of the claim

Wait for the court to review the case


Mr Claimant has rejected your defence.

The court will review the case. We'll email you if we set a hearing date to tell you how to prepare.

They've also sent us their hearing requirements.

I am guessing that now a judge will take a look at both the claim and my defence and will take a decision?
