   Someone bumped into my Saxo while at a stop,the boot floor have received some damage and so the towbar on the bumper,do you think this can get properly repaired and pass a MOT afterwards? The rest of the car itself is very tidy,2 owners,70k miles and no bad rust so I really don't want to scrap it,thanks.

   hmm doesn't look too bad really in my opinion it could probably be straightened out and stick a new bumper on but im no expert..

   Yeah would need to be professionally done. Porta power might do it if not would need to go on a jig

   Just needs hammered out, and the box section re-welded.
   
   although, might be far enough away from the rear axle mounting bolt

   Passed MOT no advisories,the towbar was easily fixed before the test.
