Simple HPI Check - SV650.org

squirrel_hunter · 11-09-13, 12:27 AM

I want to do a HPI check on a bike. Just need to know the three basics, stolen, written off, finance owing. I'm sure it will be clear, just want the piece of mind. The last time I did one was for my car and it was just one of those text checks. That's all I really want something quick and simple. I've googled it and nothing I've seen so far has filled me with confidence so I'm looking for a recommendation please?

And I did try the search but "HPI" is too short for the search string.

you should know by now the search engine is a bit cackhanded, but with a simple bit of manipulation it does work, such things as "oil" or as in your case "hpi" both being three letters won't work, however "check hpi" does.

this is what you were after I do believe

Not sure that was what you were thinking as that links to a Rick Roll.

I don't do apps (or technology) but their website MyCarCheck.com looks promising not sure if it does bikes though?

That doesn't explicitly say it covers finance so will pass on that one.

I would like to apologise from the past about my rick rolling

was surprised to see I'd even posted in that thread! What a nob.

Well I used MyCarCheck.com to check the bike out. £9.95 for piece of mind as the bike came back clean as I was expecting.

The check was instant and you can pay via PayPal. The only downside was that it didn't produce a downloadable report like in PDF format but allows you to link back to the website for a limited time. So I just saved a copy of the website.

What web browser do you use? You can add ons to print tabs to PDF. I used RAC check to HPI my camper van.
