Ex-council van HPI?

I'm flirting with the idea of buying an old ex council van. It's just come out of auction, and that's most of what I know about its background.
Should I still go and buy an HPI check for it? Or do councils generally pay off any finance?

No the boys will be around to repossess it later. Councils are well known for stealing cars and selling them at auction.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Councils tend to purchase their vehicles outright. As they will purchase a number at once, they get them for a huge discount, so no finance worries.Never Knowingly Understood.
