Used car advice

Been looking at a used car from a garage and did a hpi check on it everything came back ok but the car changed hands rather quickly it appears.

It's that period of May and June that got me worried, is the garage under any obligation to reveal any reason why this did happen. Should alarm bells be ringing to me like they are or am I likely being over paranoid :D

  • If you've got the names and addresses, contact them and ask why they sold the car so quickly.

    On the other hand, it can be reassuring to know that someone owned the car for five years so it must have been a reliable motor.

    A quick change of owner can be something simply like registering it to get it insured and taxed.
