Free HPI check

Guru · 31 Jul 2012 at 11:14

Is there one?

If not what is a reasonable one to use that covers everything but isn't too expensive?

I'm thinking of checking this EP3 that I'm viewing later but debating if I should wait till I've driven it or do it now.

If there is a free one I'll do it now, but if there isn't I might wait till I know I'm 100% insterested.

Cheers,

G

Ive always used Mytextcheck, for the sake of £3 cant complain

Mytextcheck lol.... Mount of times i have heard "i text that £3 HPI check before i bought the car".

Honestly that text thing is the most useless worthless thing ever. It doesnt do a extensive check, nore does it cover you for anything. I have took 100's of cars off people who bought a car after using a £3 text check. These people have been left £1000's of pounds down and no car to show for it.

I have always used HPI Check, it is £20 and the best one you can use. £20 or ££££'s?

Go look at it and if you like it get a proper extensive check done online?

Proper HPI or nothing really. Those text checks reveal little and cover nothing.

Is the check a dealer can do on their auto trader account good enough?

Why skimp on this

Liquidfox · 31 Jul 2012 at 21:25

For the sake of £20, why risk it?

Do a full HPI check after you have inspected, driven and decided the car is for you. Agree a price with the seller and explain that this is subject to a HPI check being carried out.

If the seller gets funny walk away. Most will if genuine agree.
