HPI check?

singletrack · 23-08-2007, 03:59 PM

Does anyone know anything about HPI checks?
I am hoping to buy a Monster and would like to do an HPI check on it. Which is the easiest/best/cheapest check to do?

The RAC do one for £5 - will that include bikes as well as cars?

I did one on mine - excellent idea. You can get fraud insurance through it too - 18 months, and if there's a problem with it, you get your $$$s back.

oh, cost - I couldn't find one under £20.They all go through experian check-a-bike in the end so the price is set there.

Thanks everyone - all useful advice to bear in mind when I find the right bike.

Just remember, if it comes back with a problem, to check into it if you are still interested. I just bought a 906 Paso and that was a problem with Police stolen, outstanding HP and insurance total loss.

Turns out these were on the frame no, not the registration and because it was registered with just the last 7 digits of the ID, it flagged anything with those last numbers. Turns out bike was clean but I got a bargain from it.
