Can anyone do me a free basic HPI check?

[Greeny.]

Hi, I hoping to find someone friendly who can do a basic HPI check to see if my car is a cat d or c? I didnt think cat d's had to be checked over by the DVLA but according to my V5 it has been or is that normal for cat d's?

Cheers
Dan

If youve got something on the v5 saying its been recorded as damaged then its a cat C m8, cat D's dont have their v5's marked but will show on a hpi check.

cat d's don't require a vic check, cat c's do. Cat c is listed on your logbook, cat d won't be listed on your logbook.

lol, like it how people sell cat c's as cat d's, thats 2 dodgy f*****s on here then

Doesnt really bother me as im keeping the shed till it dies, (or i kill it) just would be nice for people not to lie all the time eh?

Cheers guys.

Take it the logbook etc doesnt have to get sent away when its a cat c either?

I dont understand how it could have been bought thinking a cat c car was a cat d?

All you would have to do is look at the v5 document and its in black and white?

Well I didnt know that a cat d wouldnt be shown on the log book hense me just asking, but the previous 2 owners didnt know either, or did and lied. Much like "I didnt notice the wheel bearings making a noise" as I ring him with the loudest whining ever in my ears

Nope, swapped it for my valver. Was told it was a cat d so assumed he was telling the truth. Where both worth there abouts the same. The 172 was in a state though, im nursing it back to health.
