If you’re going to check a cars past, use the best. You can get a £3.00 basic check but, does it give a guarantee? Worth every penny if you ask me. I lost a car once due to being a tightwad, never again. I know you need extra info like VINS and V5 issue numbers but if the seller has nothing to hide they will hand over freely. Even the most friendly of seller can sometimes be hiding something. Pay it, Check it, be safe. Dont get caught with your pants down and lose all your hard earned cash.

Very good experience before buying my car. Became more confident to buy after checking car history. Thanks to hpi:::

Quick and accurate report

Bought a check from hpi which showed my vehicle to be free of finance. Found out later the report provided by hpi was wrong and that finance is oustanding on my car from a date 2 years before i purchased the car and done the check. On contacting hpi they used every excuse but took no responsibility. They refused to help even though i purchased a hpi guarantee with the check. They even refused to refund me for the incorrect hpi check. BEWARE.

First time I have used HPI I couldn't believe how much information is given. It helped me make an informed decision

A must if you're buying a used car. Certainly worth the price.

This motorbike was a barn find so I needed all checks carried out. Trustpilot delivered😁

HPI provided us with great free guidance on the original purchase price of a vehicle we were looking to buy. Because of this, once we had placed our deposit to secure the vehicle, we purchased the full vehicle check. This provided us with the full history and vehicle spec. This gave us the confidence to proceed with making the purchase. Well worth the small amount to pay for peace of mind.

Excellent web page worth doing. Just found out hrs before I was going to buy a car that it’s a right off wiv a dodgy MOT Thank You

Worth the money and peace of mind prior to purchasing the car. There was a mileage discrepancy identified (potentially indicating a clocked vehicle). Luckily the data records were clear enough to identify that there had been a DVLA input error on the National Mileage Register and this was simple to clear and rectify by calling HPI. Lots of other info, easily found on government websites for free, but collated and summarised in a useful way. Let me know whether the car price matched current valuations and provided info re fuel efficiency. There is also a calculator to help show the cost of running the car. In addition there's lots of advice on how to purchase the car, a test drive check list, a link to a discounted pre-purchase vehicle inspection service, a template for drafting a purchase contract. I would recommend the vehicle inspection also as in my case it allowed me to get the dealer to rectify a number of issues with the vehicle and save me more costs in the long run.
