Originally established in 1938. hpi is the primary source of vehicle history information for both the trade and consumer motoring industry in the UK.

hpi have been checking cars for nearly 80 years and were the first to introduce the vehicle history check. In addition to the hpi check®, hpi also offer two other invaluable services: hpi valuations and hpi instant safety recall checks.

The hpi check® provides consumers with an instant report that shows if a vehicle is recorded as stolen, has outstanding finance, a mileage discrepancy or has previously been written off. Not only does the hpi check® deliver reliable vehicle history information, it also verifies numerous vehicle specifications, including the make, model, colour, engine size, value and c02 rating.

hpi valuations provide FREE car valuations for consumers, including past, present and future values of a car. We provide 4 market values depending on who is buying or selling the car; retail value, Private sale venue, Trade-in value and the Forecourt price.

hpi’s instant safety recall check is the quickest and simplest way to check if a manufacturer has recalled a vehicle due to a critical safety defect. hpi is the only recall check to provide information on a specific vehicle using the vehicle’s number plate and we give you trusted and reliable vehicle recall information in seconds.

We have a long history of experience and expertise in spotting scams and showing the public how to avoid them. Our experience is unrivalled and therefore hpi is trusted by millions of consumers nationwide.
