Cheap and reliable alternative to HPI check?

Hi moneysavers, i just came across this website: https://www.mycarcheck.com which provides a vehicle check for £10, instead of hpi's pricey £40.

I did a search on forums but couldn't find it mentioned before, so i thought it might be useful for you to know.

I also checked the company's validity. If you click on "about" page, you will see that the website is owned by the CDL group. This company is mentioned on DVLA's website:

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/AdviceOnBuyingAndSellingAVehicle/DG_10014436

(the last one if i'm correct)

So it looks like a very valid site indeed. I'll try it in the next few days. I'll let you know of their service once i get the check done.
Been there... done that...
