Is it Worth getting 3 HPI Checks ? (HPI + RAC + AA) ? To reveal hidden problems ?

Rather than doing just 1 HPI car check, (HPI) would it be worth doing 3, from the companies
HPI, AA and RAC, compared to just one (Even if it costs 3 times more than doing one)

Just to make sure anything and everything about a car, just about to be purchased gets shown?


and if you purchase the HPI Checks, from the companies, How instant are the reports provided to you ?

are they instantly given to you when you pay online? (or take a few days to come)

    HPI offer a 'refund' type scheme on the purchase of a car if their check proves inacurate, I thought they all used the same database.
    If you are that unsure of a vehicle then walk away, there are plenty others for sale.

    Check their terms, especially exclusions and liability limitations.

    Just one check from either of those companies mentioned is all you need, the cheap text ones that give your grannies underwear size and lots of other info may not be as accurate.

    If you need to, buy the full fat HPI check, the others are either a waste of money or just reselling you HPI data. If your buying from a bona fide dealer, why bother; either you trust them to access their info or walk away.
