What's the best website to use for doing a HPI style check for buying a used car? Is carvertical.com any good?

    That is a US site which also does searches in other countries. Its not one I would ever consider for the UK.

    You need to be using one which has the guarantee that if it misses anything it will take responsibility which I could not see on the carvertical site.

    Seems like Vcheck suggested by @SaverRate has a guarantee and is based in the UK. So unless there's a better suggestion, then will stick to that  :)

    Thank you, went ahead with using Vcheck. Seems very thorough and has a £40k guarantee. Also, half the price of HPI Check

    AND checks salvage auction records, which HPI doesnt do.

    Many of the motoring You Tubers I watch seem to be plugging Car Vertical.
