Trade HPI

twhitehousescat

does anyone use the trade dealer printout service ?

can you tell me what this red marker is

the bike is a 80s honda

I'm not 100% sure but if I recall correctly the box marked is for an NMR check (national mileage register).
I think it shows as red if the mileage on the vehicle differs greatly from what was recorded on a previous HPI check or if the mileage can't be verified.

thank you , indeed it is

I asked the seller why he had took screenshot , but missed vital info off

he sent me full clear pic this morning

as this is an old bike for restoration / rebuild , I do not believe its been taxed for 20 + yrs

If the bike hasn't had the mileage entered on a previous HPI check or in this case, a recent MOT test then that would explain why it's showing as red as the current mileage can't be verified.

thanks

I had a problem with this buy , frame had vin , nice and clear and stamped number but no plate on bike (in bits ) and no v5

the seller did a trade hpi to confirm number and not stolen / written off


the seller sent me scans of chassis number and the vin plate , I asked him for the reg and he did a dealer HPI check

Ha0214**SIX1 comes back as f308vsj , honda , 90cc red

I looked at the vin plates and all looked well so filled in the v62 form for replacement v5 and included the proverbial; PO for £27 , filled the details in from the HPI printout , so as not to get 0 and o or 1 and i wrong

nasty letter from DVLA this morning

do I own it
vrn displayed on front
vrn displayed at rear
who / when did I buy it
photo of vin needed
photo of bike needed

!!!!!! , never had this before

rung DVLA, arranged to send pics and details via email

then the penny dropped

my vin and chassis number say Ha0214**FIVE1 !!!


the seller put wrong info into HPI!!!

hoping I had not bought a write off /scrapped / stolen frame he re ran the HPI check

its clean honda , 90cc red reg no F46* *nu


bad luck both being same model , and same colour

GOOd on DVLA for spotting this and being on the ball , I could have very easily been riding a"cloned" bike around

sat here trying to work out how I explain this to DVLA , they may get annoyed when picci shows a blue bike , was going to send book back for change of colour later , so as to try and not confuse issue
