A MAN was shocked after reviewing the footage from his property’s CCTV camera to discover the cause of damage to his car.

Luke Heffernan found his car’s wing mirror damaged after leaving his vehicle in his own yard.

He decided to check the footage of one of the cameras he had installed on his property.

And Luke was shocked to discover that the wing mirror simply broke away from the car without being touched by anyone.

He said on the video: “Someone has broken my f***** mirror in my own yard.”

Luke included a clip at the end of the video that shows the moment the wing mirror fell from its mounting.

The video published by @lukeheffernan3 on TikTok has gone viral on social media with more than 2.8million viewers.

And people were blown away after watching the video.

One said: “Try explaining that to the insurance company.”

Another said: “I’m in tears at this, actual tears streaming down my face for laughing. I may be overtired.”

A third pointed out: “UV damage to the plastic makes sense as you’re in Australia.

Driving with a broken wing mirror breaches the Road Traffic Act 1988, which says that a driver can be fined if “the condition of a motor vehicle is such that its use involves a danger of injury to any person”.

And you can receive a £2,500 fine plus three points on your licence.

Turning up to an MOT with cracked or broken glass on your car will mean it is unlikely to be passed as roadworthy.

The good news is, a new wing mirror is a relatively affordable part for most vehicles.

And some broken wing mirror damage could be replaced through your insurance company, so it’s worth checking with them if you notice a break.
