I'm in a bit of a predicament here. A lorry cut into my lane on a 2 lane roundabout and shoved me over onto the roundabout. They did not stop and I followed them to their destination. The driver denied everything asking where was the damage on his vehicle (as if hitting tires against my bumper would cause damage to him) and would not give me his name.

He was quite hostile so I just took his reg number and the name of the company he works for then left. Now I was going to file a police report but just checked and my MOT has run out. I don't know what to do. I have no witnesses, so it's just his word against mine. he's completely scuffed up my bumper but it's a bit of an old banger anyway so I don't really care. I'm going to sort out the MOT tomorrow.

The MOT has no effect on the accident claim it DOES NOT invalidate your insurance. ( though some on here will try to say otherwise)
Go ahead with the police report.
...and this is why you should ALWAYS ALWAYS give way to, and stay behind, a truck on a roundabout. They need more room, will cut in to lanes etc. See rule 187 of the Highway Code.
do nothing ... its just a scuffed bumper ... and as you say, you dont really care
