A former West Ham United youth player who forged documents to make himself 20 years older to get cheaper car insurance for his £30,000 Range Rover was today spared jail.
Nathan Mabi-Mavila, 22, told insurers at RSA Group he was old enough to be his own father to get a cheaper premium for his luxury Range Rover Evoque.
The talented young left-back and midfielder, who played for The Hammer's youth team from 2012-2014, also claimed he lived outside London in Kent in a bid to save £2,000.
But Mavila was caught when he took his girlfriend for a spin and was asked to pull over and produce his documents at a police checkpoint in Grosvesnor Place, Belgravia, on August 7.
