HPI check urgently required

BallisticGT3 · 21 Apr 2009 at 07:27

I urgently need a HPI check on a car I'm proposing to buy privately.

The registration is LL03 LCA and its an MR2 with 24k miles.

I need to know if the car has ever been in an accident, written off, stolen recovered, clocked, finance outstanding etc.

Many thanks for your help.

There's a new technique some of us are using to do this. You can find it here

This really isnt the point of this forum, its actually a bit rude to ask something like that as it is generally something that costs money.

If you want one quickly, £3 gets you one by text - https://www.mytextcheck.com/

you can afford a car but cant afford a few quid to check its history?

Wow step away from the private car sale. Get an AA inspection tbh. Hpi will only tell you if it has been written off not in any old accident. Wont tell you if it has been clocked either. Should give you finance status. You should also get an Hpi using the chassis number not just reg ideally.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to offend anyone or break the forum rules with this post.

I will obtain the cars VIN and check out which is the best online car data check service to use.

Be worth getting an AA inspection of RAC inspection done and iirc some of their packages include the HPI. Otherwise have a quick google for prices but the AA is usually ok.

9 posts and you are asking for a free HPI check. What a cheek! These are £10 from the RAC. Quite a drop in the ocean if you are spending thousands on a car!
