Cheap and reliable alternative to HPI check?

mkoprulu

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.

I also saw this on Parkers website, I think. It sounds like a good deal to me provided that it does the same checks as HPI. Interested to hear how you get on mkoprulu.

HPI-Check

I have also used http://www.autocheck.co.uk for a HPI check. Another good site is http://www.aacardatacheck.com/car-data-check/

Sounds good but what about outstanding finance?

This does not include a finance check - they charge an extra £30 for that
