Is it a write off cat c or cat d

Is there any websites that you know of that you do a HPI check of your car for free, as i have purchased a 52 plate Saxo VTR from a bloke that sells pre painted panels.

And after purchasing running it round for a bit b4 doing some mechanical repairs, I have now on closer inspection noticed that the front bumper has been replaced posibably a wing and a door. also the washer bottle leaks so maybe split.

When i bought it I asked him if it had ever had a prang or was it a cat c or d writeoff, to which he replied no.

But now I am unsure and would like to find out if it was a write off or not.

As the car is now registered to me the original keepers details are no longer on the V5, just says 1 former keeper plus the blokes name and address that i bought it from.

Personally i woud not bother with cheapo text checks. Use a decent company that use the HPI system
properly and offer a warranty of some sort.

HPI, RAC, AA etc....

Auto express magazine tested several cheap companies and they failed to find cars with finance or accident damaged.

Its a VTR chances are its been bumped.. If theres nothing noted on the logbook as identity checked then its Not a cat c.
