Buying a used car should be exciting, not nerve-racking. But for lots of people, it’s a bit of both. You’ve found the one, the seller seems lovely, and there’s still that little voice asking, “what if there’s something they’re not telling me?”
We built CheckHPI to quieten that voice.
What we believe
- The basics should be free. You shouldn’t need to pay just to confirm a car is what it says it is.
- You should see before you pay. We show you which checks are waiting before asking for a penny.
- No subscriptions, no tricks. One car, one price, one payment.
- Plain English, always. No jargon, no scare tactics. Just clear answers and friendly advice on what to do next.
What we do
CheckHPI runs vehicle history checks on UK cars. Enter a registration and we’ll bring together the key facts about the car, from its MOT and tax status through to outstanding finance, theft and insurance write-off records, all in one easy-to-read report.
We also write guides to help you make sense of what you find and buy your next car with confidence.
