But anyway, £10543 comprehensive for a 2.0 Mondeo at 19. What does this proove? Nothing at all, simply that that particular insurer did not want my business.
They did want your business, but only for £10k

The polite way of telling someone that they don't want their business is this, which has happened to me lots of times:
"I am sorry we cannot offer an insurance policy for you on that car."
