What is an HPI Check?
An HPI check is the most comprehensive way to verify a used car's history before you buy. It combines multiple checks into one report, giving you peace of mind about your purchase.
Why HPI Checks Are Essential
When buying a used car, you need to know its full history. Sellers don't always disclose problems, and some issues only surface after purchase. An HPI check reveals:
- Outstanding finance - Is the car still legally owned by a lender?
- Stolen status - Has the vehicle been reported stolen?
- Insurance write-offs - Was the car previously damaged and written off?
- Mileage discrepancies - Has the odometer been tampered with?
- Plate changes - Has the registration been changed to hide history?
