Frankly that wouldn't surprise me. The more I dig, the more I find wrong with this thing!

I tend to find that HPI and Experian are the only ones that give you all the information.

Why bother with a HPI check (£20 IIRC) when some of these other services will do what seems to be exactly the same thing, for less money?

I know some of the cheapies don't have it all - but what's missing in all these services?

Somebody said My Text Check doesn't include finance, but with the bikes I look at, it's not going to be an issue.

I just like the ease of being able to do it while you're looking at the bike.
