Insurance quote news - An HPI check can help drivers avoid used-car problems

For many motorists, finding a low-cost car insurance quote is difficult and involves research and comparisons before the final decision to buy cover from a certain company is made.

However, according to trusteddealers.co.uk, a website on which road users can safely search for new and used cars, a driver's search for a pre-owned vehicle can also be fraught with problems.

The survey polled 2,000 people and revealed that one in ten car owners would lie about how many miles the vehicle had travelled, and some were willing to omit information about previous road accidents, in order to sell their car.

Furthermore, the website revealed that four in every one hundred used cars checked for discrepancies were insurance write-offs.

Potential buyers could reduce their risk of purchasing a car which is recorded as stolen, written off, or still has outstanding payments to be made on it, by doing a Hire Purchase Investigations (HPI) check.
