If you prove to them the cost of getting a car of the same/age condition is more than they're offering they'll have to increase their offer.
When I wrote off my Corsa though they offered me about a grand more than I thought it was worse so I just said yes straight away

Take cuttings out of an old auto trader, they can't prove how old the adverts are so you might even get more money than you hoped? Ha

Start looking for Autotrader adverts and print them out, works every time.

Yeah, theres plenty of things that could go wrong with it really
They'd probably want proof of the advert age with anything you used
