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.

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
