It does not affect NCD but you still need to declare as claim for the following years, insurers does not say it openly but I strongly suspect it does raise premiums, why else would they be asking to declare. If it's expensive screen it's worth doing on insurance even if premium increase a bit. I had it done for Tesla as it would have been £1k. But for some older/ more common cars you can get aftermarket screen supplied and fitted by independent fitters for £140 or pay £85-100 excess to insurance company and likely also to get increase in insurance premium.

Interestingly I had the windscreen replaced on my Volvo during the early days of lockdown, which turned out to be rather a logistical nightmare as it had to go away to a specialist to have the cameras etc. recalibrated as part of the job. Full fat job; heated windscreen and lots of cameras and sensors up near the mirror. But that cost me absolutely nothing! The windscreen excess is a sweet fat zero on that policy (Aviva) and it didn't go up at all, in fact reduced on renewal. Quote:
Nothing shows on the Volvo policy though, again all arranged via the insurers.
