Hi all,

What company would you recommend if you were going to do a HPI check?

Thanks in advance. 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

Experian used to be good (five checks for £15 at one point) but I think Auto Trader has now bought them out/took it over.

Even with HPI check you can't tell if it is cloned as it would show the proper car status.

hpi gold check costs a little more but covers you if there are any problems further down the line,also be sure to check the stamped chassis number which is funnily enough on the chassis ,if you get on your knees below drivers front door towards the wing and brush the dirt off the chassis you should find the long number there ,if it looks like its ever been messed with if the numbers arent perfectly straight or there is any fresh looking paint walk away  silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone

Just check with the previous owners/dealers as well - genuine sellers won't object to your diligence.

Don't just rely on the HPI certificate and indemnity tops out at £30K.

We bought a year old X5 from BMW Dealer; it was cleared by HPI for mileage and accidents. When I investigated I found it had been off the road for 6 months it had been written off and 'clocked' !!! I wrote and complained. HPI's managing director wrote back and said they rely on information 'volunteered' to them to tough luck we don't care !!!

Some-ones since bought it and its taxed and on-the-road - we told DVLA but they sent the info. back !!!
