Well worth doing hpi check and include the millage and finance check allso

[ben harding]

Clio 182 full phat cup pack in blue Oxford , I did the hpi check and the millage came up with anomalies , from 41k in 2007 it goes down to 25k in 2008 then bac upto 53k in 2008 and also from July 2010 to oct 2010 the car does 7k miles in 3 months,Then from 2010 till 2015 it only does 22k , 85k in 2010 , 107k 2015, and lastly on the hpi check along side each millage marker it says where the info came from so most were dvla wen keeper changes but on 1 it came from BVRLA that's a trading body for car rental and leasing? And it has 9 prev keepers , thought u shud all no bcoz no 1 shud b £2500 worse off, thanks for reading well worth the hpi checking fee!!

The only mileage anomoly is the 41 - 25 - 53. The 25 could quite easily be 52 typed wrong, hard to say without knowing what input checks there are at the time.

7k miles in 3 months could be someone buying it, using it for a long commute and selling it. That doesn't seem strange to me.

At this point (and in that price bracket) all you're checking for is current condition and proof that the belts have been done (or that the price is reflective of this).

I also wouldn't be put off by amount of owners, it's not uncommon with these cars that people buy them and then realise they cost money to run and insure etc. also belt changes are expensive (compared to other cars)

Seen that kind of mileage thing before, will have just been a mistake, as it goes back to where it should be the next time its checked.

If you get the V5 you can check the MOT history for the car, it'll go back a number of years.

The cars mileage is usually recorded on the MOT test.

As above, many mistakes are made on the HPI mileage thingy, so check it against the MOTs online, & the service receipts etc.

The MOT History check is very much worth it and it is free!

I had a cinquecento for a few years and the check on that was wrong, made it look like a bad car but in fact someone had just typed in the mileage wrong,nothing in the history of that car to make me think it's dodgy, I'd always go with condition over paperwork anyway.

As above, sounds like they meant to write 52 not 25k.
