Going to get 172 - owner offered free HPI check?



  Rav4
Ok, going to get a 172 I think, phase 2.

Phoned up the owner, for the log book number, mot number and chasis number, and he said that he could get the HPI check done for free from his uncles work......

I tend to be extremely cautious and wary of everything, does this seem ok, would you be a bit :S or would you think hes just trying to help out?

Thanks.

I would get him to get one done, and to be on the safe side get your own done aswell. I mean its only £40 aint it?
 
  Rav4
sure is, but when you go and look at more than one, it just adds up. :S

Thanks though :)

This forum is good !! :)

As above. Get it HPI'd. Could be a lot more than £40 worth of trouble if you don't. Good luck with the purchase. :D

www.rac.co.uk - I do all my HPI checks through them and if you supply serial number of the V5 and the mot certificate number you get insurance cover should anything later be found wrong with the check.

Checks are only £25 as well :)

Yer i bought a 206 from a garage before, he did an HPI check through it showing it was fine, but once looked at it properly, not everything matched up fine, and it was annoying, coz it had, had a bump in the past but not recorded.

Hopefully this one should be fine........... If not, will send Darren from this forum to sort him out.

Fingers crossed.

if it wasn't recorded whats the problem? i don't see why people are bothered about repaired cars....if its done properly why should it matter? you pay less for the same car.
anyway rant over.
as has been said, if you're serious about this perticular car get it hpi'd

All came back fine, good £25 !! Need to double check MOT Certificate number, too long the one he give me. However Chasis and V5 log book all fine, nothing recorded on it. If its wrong RAC owe me :)

correct dates on all the information provided.

Woooop Wooooop !!!

If the MOT is a new computerised format one then you dont need to check them as they are meant to be fine.

Probably why RAC said number was too long
