So why HPI a car you are thinking of buying ? Well basically
so that you know that it is actually clean with no major problems
such as it has not been a write off that there is not any
outstanding finance that it has not been stolen. Advantages
of having a HPI Check when considering the purchase of any
type of private transport car,motorbike caravanette is that
a HPI Check can prove whether the vehicle can be legally bought
from the vendor and HPI also checks all the important information
on the vehicle 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 with
no chance of getting any money back so here are the main points
of a HPI Check
1 Finance most cars are bought on finance HPI checks
whether there is any outstanding finance on the vehicle
2 Damaged 500,000 cars are considered not worth repairing
by insurance companies a lot of these finish up back on the
road HPI checks with the insurance companies and lists the
extent of the damage

be clocked by a HPI Check stopping you from paying too much
for the vehicle with incorrect mileage

informs you if it is stolen or has been stolen in the past
5 Cloned Many stolen vehicles go on to be cloned to
disguise their identity so that they appear legitimate. A
cloned car is one which has illegally taken the identity of
a legitimately owned vehicle. This means there will be two
or more cars with the same identity, including the same make,
model, mark, vehicle registration, and identification number.
Vehicles being sold for cash, below the market price or at
places such as service stations may have been cloned.

car.

No value left in the vehicle

lies in salvage
