Why HPI?
So why do I need to HPI my car? Well basically so that you know that it is actually your car. 375,000 cars are stolen each year. Many get sold on to unsuspecting buyers. If you are one of them you will have to give the car back to its rightful owner and the crook that sold it to you will be long gone with your cash.

1 in 12 cars checked by the trade last year showed mileage discrepancies. You could buy car that is worth a fraction of what you pay for it.

Answer:
