    Oh. Dear.

    HPI checks do not tell you a vehicle is safe. They merely state if it has BEEN RECORDED as being a write off. They don't even tell you if it is has been in an accident if it wasn't written off and they also do not tell you the mechanical state of the vehicle which has as much, if not more bearing on the safety of the vehicle than whether it was in an accident or not.
