Hey there, Would anyone know how I could get a free HPI Check done?

I have no worrys about my bike, Its just the storys I am hearing about people loosing their bike and having no come back at all

Possibly by calling the police and 'stressing my concerns' they may be able to do it for free if I tell a white lie

The guy I bought it off was an architect and had a big house/car etc so I doubt it is still on HPI, But better safe than sorry!

You can't get it free, but you can get it for £6.50 if you do it though ebay Wink

.

Set up an auction as thought you were selling it. Don't actually submit the auction obviously, but on the last page where you get to review what the auction looks like you will find the 'get the vehicle status report' link is live!

The ebay one is actually made by hpi so it's the real thing. Though it's really only the summary features, but as thats all anyone wants anyway it will do Thumbs Up

If it's the name of the dealer who sold it from new they won't be of help. If it's a dealer who got the bike 2nd hand then yes, chances are they hpi'd it just before they took possesion of it. Though of course anything could have happened to it between then and now.

Are you that stuck for £6.50?

Have a look in autotrader, last time I looked there was ads offering it for between £4.50 and £6.

Oh and I believe by law a plate must now have the details of the shop that printed it, or something.

Hi mate, just pay £6.50 and get it done via ebay. Its pretty good as they don't just check for write offs etc they also check for outstanding finance. Not all check for finance

Its a pitty no one on here could get one done for free.

When I used to be in to the mondeos (hence the name) on the mondeo forum, I got one done for my ER5 for free. I guess the guy just worked in the trade or something.

But to be honest £39.00 something, its an absolute rip.

I had it done full price on the car, and if you read the terms and condition of the HPI, they'll only pay out in extreem circumstances if they've made a mistake.

My mate used to work for HPI in Harrogate, pitty he doesn't work there any more.

I had it done for the Divvy and it was 30-odd quid. The ZZR was checked by the garage I bought it from as a matter of course. I offered them the HPI check docs for the Divvy but they stated "were trade so it's dirt cheap for us to do it anyway..." so I'm happy the ZZR it is clear of any issues.
