MORE ABOUT HPI CHECK - The buying risks explained

HPI before you buy or your next car could turn out to be... clocked or nicked, knackered or on the never never.

Clocked Vehicles

1 in 12 cars checked by the trade last year showed mileage discrepancies. Buy a clocked car and you could pay thousands of pounds over the odds - and never know what maintenance it really needs or when.

HPI's National Mileage Register holds around 60 million readings - more than anybody else.

Stolen Vehicles

375,000 vehicles are stolen each year. Many get sold on as "bargains" to unsuspecting buyers. If you are one of them, you'll have to give the car back to it's rightful owner - and the crook who sold it to you will be long gone with your cash.

HPI has the very latest information from the Police National Computer.

Damaged Vehicles

Over 450,000 cars are "written-off" by insurers annually because of accident damage. Many are so seriously mangled that they are deemed incapable of safe repair. Fancy risking your family in one of them?

HPI has more condition data on more vehicles than anybody else.

Unpaid Finance

Two thirds of all new vehicles are bought on finance. If that finance isn't settled and you buy the car, you stand to lose it, and the money you paid for it too.

HPI has more outstanding finance data than anybody else.
