will my volkswagen lupo be a write off?

[anissavivienneoakley]

On 10/02/13 i crashed my car into a crash barriers because my car went down a pot hole with ice.
it is a 13 year vw lupo

Damage : my front drivers side went into the crash barrier at 30 mph, the wheel burst, the police said they could hardly drive it to the other side of the road. and it has had previous problems on it's mot (before i owned it) which were fixed. it is 13years old and was becoming on its last legs recently.
its worth about £1000.

i also hit another car which had to be towed away too the towing of both cars was £400 and my insurance is paying for the other cars repairs which was mainly cosmetic.

It really is not worth anything like £1000.
If the cost of repair is deemed by the insurer to be around 80% of its value they will write it off and I would say that this is certain from your description.

The insurance company will write it off if its beyond repair or the repairs will cost more than the value of the car.

On that information, definitely yes.
