a colleague used one of the £3 text services. Can't say I've ever bothered HPI any of my bikes.

Cheap HPI Check from moneysavingexpert.com
![]() Best value HPI checks. Originally conceived so you can check whether the car you're buying has outstanding finance on it (i.e. the previous owner still owes money for the car), HPI checks now offer all manner of other info, and come at different price levels. Outside of occasional special offers, the following generally offer the best value.

Depends what you're going for, the "mycarcheck" thing is alright for a quick "is it nicked or badly written off" check.

having bought a cloned car and loosing £ 10,000 i would have a hpi check, that text thing just checks a number plate to a car but cant check the paper work. you need the number in the top right circle on the log book to check against the number plate and the chassis number and all three must tally if they dont something is wrong. i got my money back after 3 years when the thieves were caught but i think i was fortunate
