April 12, 2016 Comments Off on Researching a vehicle before you buyWith many cars systems now available online such as Tax, checking for MOT’s, if a vehicle is insured and HPI reporting, it is easier than ever to get background information on a car you are thinking about buying. The government website has links to many different portals that will give you information such as the last MOT date, advisories and failures along with mileage details. This allows you to easily check back on the mileage recorded at MOT against that on the car to check it has not been tampered with.
HPI is a report which will check for number plate changes, if the vehicle is recorded as stolen or on finance along with if it has ever been an insurance write off and again mileage. The cost for a HPI varies from £2-£15 depending on how much information you want to view and which company you use but is well worth the money.
