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....
