Default 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' but thanks for the bump

Did it check for outstanding finance?

That is pretty important IMO
