As part of
our commitment to offering motorists the very best information associated
with owning and running a vehicle in the UK, we can provide below a useful
guide to obtaining an online hpi car data check.
Obtaining
a car history report (before you buy!) can sometimes reveal facts about
the vehicle's past i.e. previous accidents, turned back or 'clocked' odometer,
failed emission test, flooding, number of owners, etc. To instigate an
hpi check you will often need just the vehicle's VIN number - (definition:
The manufacturer’s serial number as shown on supporting documents).
There are
a small number of legitimate and trustworthy companies offering this service
in the UK. The industry leader and the original provider of this service
is HPI
Check. Their service costs just £39.95 online, and prides itself
on delivering more vehicle information than anybody else and full telephone
support if you need it.
You will
discover whether your car you want to buy has been stolen, written-off,
clocked, has had previous number plates, any outstanding finance and most
importantly that the latest data matches that on the Vehicle Registration
Number Database. This company's well established reputation is founded
on an exemplary level of customer satisfaction and is backed by a bullet-proof
guaranteed (see below):
