    Exclamation Quick question re: hpi check

    Lo folks,

    Rather stupidly, I never had a HPI check done when I bought my car back in August. After owning it for 5 months I think it may have had a backender in its time. I've noticed things like small welds under the boot carpet, and a respray on the bootlid.

    Now on to my question; before I shell out £35 on a hpi check, can I not just presume that my insurers (Norwich union), would have declined me insurance if it was on say catD. (obviously I gave them reg number to get insured)

    Cheers, any advice appreciated

    an hpi check wont nessesarily show up if yer cars been crashed - only if it was written off - so the insurance might have cleared it but its still had a crash

    or... take it to your local fuzz shop, who'll hpi it for free (but not provide any paperwork to back it up)
