View Full Version : HPI checks for £6

I needed to do an HPI check and found a comparison of the different companies that offered it here http://www.motorcycle.co.uk/Insurance/Data-checks.aspx
So ranging from free to £40. The free ones don't cover much, I was tempted by the My Motorcycle check at £3.95, but crucially it doesn't cover Outstanding HP. Other than if it's nicked, having outstanding finance is surely the greatest risk that you would suffer a loss.
So next was eBay at £6.99 that covers pretty much everything. But it's only available for vehicles that are listed for sale on eBay.
So I settled on CheckABike. I purchased the pack of 5, so I have 2 checks remaining available for you to use on a prospective purchase of any vehicle for £6 each. :)

As tigersaw says. They do not check any finance on the vehicle which IMO is one of the greatest risks of loss when buying. So hardly 'everything' :roll: but thanks for the bump ;)

OK.
Seems I misunderstood what Auto check meant when they said 5. I thought it meant 5 but apparently it means 1, so I don't have any spare checks anyway :roll:



I think they mean you can check up to 5 bikes but you can only use the purchase protection once, & I've already used it.
