Default MCN HPI checks

has anyone ever done one of these bike checks? i went to view a sv yesterday and wrote down the reg number the vin number and the engine number, they all matched the log book ok but i wanted to do an HPI all the same. when i got home and started entering the digits into the mcn site it said i needed its current milage, v5 serial number, v5 registration issue date and mot certificate number? do i really need all this info? i'm getting intouch with the seller as we speak to try and get the extra info.

This site gives you free HPI checks. Not sure how much info you need but is definitely worth trying before you pay the £30. Don't trust if 100% though as Ive heard of people getting clean bills of health on bikes they know were write-offs. Good to check though as if your bike does come up dirty, then at least you haven't wasted £30

i used the official hpi check site. It didn't require any of that information, just the reg no. They only ask for it so they can update their own information. I found out one bike i was looking at had loads of finance left on it - well worth it IMO

The free one is free cause it uses all the data you put in to sell for marketing to other companies - like credit card and insurance companies - nothing is for free in this world.

It's not online yet but:
