I imagine that in a large majority of claims they wouldn't detect it, or even try to, and that probably fits with most people's experience where the claim is for a few thousand or less.
The larger the claim though, the greater their incentive to find a way to reduce or remove their responsibility. If someone is injured in an accident, the costs could be orders of magnitude higher - potentially 6 or 7 figures. Faced with a potential bill like that, I imagine that they'll go over the car with a fine-toothed comb. So personally, I will always declare mods.
