The BBC is still investigating the crash, which happened while the car was being driven slower than 60mph on a stretch of road that is famed for accidents while it was pouring with rain.
Although the issues which saw the car fail its MOT were corrected and the car subsequently passed the test three days later, the DVLA says flagged tyre issues should be closely monitored.

He said: 'It's been a mad old day on Top Gear today, you might have seen I've had a bit of a shunt.
I finally got to drive a Lamborghini Diablo but it turns out 30-year-old supercars don't like torrential rain - who'd have thought it.
'I'm totally fine. If you've ever owned a Diablo or you've driven one, you'll know just as well as me that 'oh my god' she can be a cruel mistress - oh she can be a cruel mistress that one.
That V12 lures you in and then rawr, it bites you like that - but I'm totally fine and fingers crossed we will get the car up and running again because it's an absolute beauty. I'm going to have a cuppa tea, tour thác bản giốc từ hà nội Paracetamol and a little cry.'
The crash came after presenter Richard Hammond was almost killed in a Top Gear accident in 2006.
He was in a coma for two weeks after losing control of a dragster while filming at Elvington Airfield, near York.
