    Some dealers will do an HPI for £99. Total ripoff.

    If your serious about the car then do your own. Its worth spending £20 - £30.

    If someone on here does a check, You buy it and it later turns out to be dodgy you have no comeback. You didnt HPI it.

    Autocheck certainly seems to be the best value,

    information site at freehpi.co.uk explains more about all the checks,

    some are big rip offs £2 to check, and the sell it on to us at £35+. What a joke

    Freehpi.co.uk has gone. It now belongs to hpi check. I don't think they liked it. Lol

    You can get a car check at car check uk for £4.50 or five for a tenner. It includes stolen and insurance data and vin check which some cheap checks don't.

    Dont do the cheap checks they are a waste of money. If you need an HPI check do a proper one.

    If someone has a left over hpi check I'd be very grateful if they'd run a car through for me.

    Please pm for the reg details. Happy to pay a few quid for it by PayPal.

    Just checked my own car as I had an accident a few years back and they paid me for it, and said they would not class it as a write off! and happily they were telling me the truth.
    It says its £2.99 however when I paid through paypal they charged me only £2.49! RESULT!

    Except its less than 100% reliable and offers zero protection.

    Odd how their website says briiliantly simple from autoexpress yet the test failed to show a BMW had finance owed on it.

    So i will stick to my previous thoughts. AVOID... cheap checks...
