Hpi check was founded in 1938 and are the longest standing car history and Gov car checking service in the UK.

What does Hpi mean? It is an acronym for Hire Purchase Investigation.

But hpicheck is a brand and not a standard vehicle history check.

Is there a free hpicheck for drivers like .Gov website offers?

No, they don’t offer any type of free vehicle service. Hpi provides three paid products ranging for £9.99 necessary checks to a full car check as £19.99. There is a multiple purchase product at £29.97 for three tests.

What do you get in each car check?

Let’s focus on the full check at £19.99 as it is the one you’ll need if you are buying a used car. It includes finance data, write off checks, stolen car checks and National Mileage Register (NMR) history.

These four checks make the most difference when buying. If your hpi car check shows any issues related to these investigations, ensure you look deeper into vehicle history, as you may lose money.

Other checks carried out include registration plate changes, colour changes, mot and tax history and import or export history. These data points are less likely to determine if the vehicle is a good buy or not. But, they remain essential and should be looked into should your check from hpi show up concerns.
