Thinking of treating yourself to a new car? Its a time to be very careful indeed! When statistics show that 1 in 3 cars have a hidden history how does the  innocent purchasers protect themselves?

Its hard enough checking for the obvious stuff like bodywork and mechanical faults, but what about the stuff you cant see?

The biggest risks are….
A car with outstanding finance- 24 in 100 prove to have outstanding finance
A car reported as stolen with the Police-HPI find 30 cars a day that have been stolen.
An insurance write off-HPI find 4 in every 100 cars are found to have been written off
A cloned car-A cloned car is one which has illegally taken the identity of a legitimately owned vehicle. You have no way of telling this at all.

Even if you have brought the car legitimately any of the above affecting the car will mean that you will probably loose it.
It only cost £20.50 to do the check, worth every penny. You can do it online here http://www.hpicheck.com/ it only takes a few minutes.
