Hi Everyone,

Just wondered if there was anywhere you can get this check free?

Cheers

From the dealership, but would you trust them?

Sorry Chippy Minton,

Its a private sale.

PS. Or any other checks we need to do before purchasing.

Hi don't if it helps , its not free but I recently did one of those text the reg ones it cost £3+two texts but it gave me lots of info like if a ins claim had ever been made on it, if the colour had ever been changed, whether it was stolen , and some more that ive now forgotten but did cover quite a bit. all I did was a google for text hpi and thats how I found it they tell you more info on their site,

Car History Check by txt Msg or Debit Card (£3 UCR or £5 RAC)
First we have the basic £3 txt message service as shown on the Used Car Roadshow website:[/i][/b]



This is one of the 2 messages you get back:

<you car make & model>
<vin bumber> date of manufacturer
Amount of owners
Colour changes
Stolen?
Scrapped?

Second Message

Record of <your reg> being subject to a total loss claim by insurers

Second up is the Rac datacheck

This requires a debit/credit car but looks quite a bit more detailed than the txt msg service and covers you upto £5000 if the data is wrong.
