Hpi Check

Why HPI?
So why do I need to HPI my car? Well basically so that you know that it is actually your car. 375,000 cars are stolen each year. Many get sold on to unsuspecting buyers. If you are one of them you will have to give the car back to its rightful owner and the crook that sold it to you will be long gone with your cash.

1 in 12 cars checked by the trade last year showed mileage discrepancies. You could buy car that is worth a fraction of what you pay for it.

More Information regarding Car Data Checks

Over 450,000 cars are 'written-off' by insurers annually because of accident damage. Many are written off because the insurance company deem it incapable of safe repair. Make sure that you don't buy the one thats been sneaked back on the road again.

Also make sure that there is no outstanding finance on your car.

HPI Check Question
What do the categories mean when is a car written off?

Answer:
Category A: Total burnout. No value left in the vehicle
Category B: Break only. Value lies in salvage
Category C: Damage to car is more than total value of car
Category D: Repair would cost almost as much as the vehicle is worth. Better to write off than repair. No comebacks for the insurers
