HPI ‘ONLY CHECK TO RELY ON’ SAYS AUTO CAR MAGAZINE
12 April 2006 - RAC

Survey of vehicle check services gives HPI five star rating

HPI has been voted the ‘best on the market’ in a survey of vehicle history check services by Auto Car magazine. In a test of four vehicle checking brands, HPI came out on top as the only one to score a full five stars.

Auto Car trialled the vehicle checkers using a Golf GT TDi that had had a plate change, was a category C write-off and had a mileage discrepancy. HPI was the only one to identify all three faults and provide detailed information on all discrepancies, earning it full marks.

Joe Doyle, director of HPI says: ''This is a fantastic result for HPI, which was described in the Auto Car piece as ‘hard to fault’ and ‘the only check to rely on’. This endorsement proves our ongoing commitment to helping consumers buy with peace of mind. HPI’s depth of information with an emphasis on delivering a high level of customer service is a winning combination.''

Auto Car’s article also highlights the importance of used car buyers conducting a quality vehicle history check. Any unsuspecting consumer buying the Golf featured in the test would be putting their safety at risk. Plate changes are often used by criminals to hide a dodgy past and a category C write-off, while a mileage discrepancy puts the safety and condition of the vehicle in serious doubt.

Joe Doyle concludes: ''With an HPI Check buyers are armed with vital information to help them make a sound buying decision. With a five star rating from Auto Car, HPI will continue to be the first choice for used car buyers keen to keep the criminals at bay and buy with confidence.''
