    Alright peeps

    I am a private seller of a vehicle, I have owned the car for 12 years now and I know it is HPI clear, not written off or been involved in an accident, never had any finance added to it.. I have put that all of that on my listings/adverts.

    However I am having a few people asking me to do a HIP report or a super motors report myself..  I thought that it was the buyers responsibility to do this and not the actual seller?  They keep wanting me to pay to do the reports...
    its a scam to get you to spend money on their site.  You'll never hear from them again when you do.
    Yes, this too. I looked up the website they tried to link me to and it charges £24 for a check that Autotrader charges less than £5 for. I assume they refer back to the Autotrader one, send you the report and pocket £19

    There is no point for seller doing one, you could send them a fake PDF, or an old one - just before the crash.. if buyer wants to be sure they need to do it themselves.
