Can anyone do a basic HPI check for me please?

[13aines]

Hi all,

Going to look at a cheap winter hack motorcycle on Sunday being sold by a PHer - i'm positive all is fine with it and the seller, but I just want to be doubly sure.

Was wondering if anyone with access to HPI checking at work or whatnot could run a check for me. The bike is only £650, and I really can't afford to do a £15-20 HPI check on top of the purchase price and fuel costs to collect it. I don't trust the text-check services and the like really. I'm sure i've seen people on here offer to run checks for people before.

Any assistance would be hugely appreciated, else I think i'll just go for it based on the fact that its old, cheap and the seller seems very good.

Registration is N610 FLC.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Thank you very much - thats fantastic. As expected, nothing to worry about with it being written off in the past. I don't need to worry about outstanding finance I don't think, so we're good to go!

It's got 2,900 miles on it, so it's over 138,000 miles under-mileage

You cant afford £20???

Why should anyone else pay for you, stop being a tight ar$e

Wow - as expected...

No I can't afford to add another £20 to the purchase price actually.

Secondly, I'm not asking anyone to pay for the check for me, just asking if anyone has access to HPI checking at work or the like, and is prepared to run one for me - as said - else I was thinking I might just buy the vehicle without doing a HPI check for the first time.

Thanks for your constructive input - now kindly fk off.

Can you not do the billy basic text one to get a rough idea?

It will only cost 3 quid.

I was trying to use My Car Check to do a £5 one, but was having issues with the payment section of the website. The £3 text check 83600 company website was a bit amatuer so I avoided that one. I've only ever used RAC before, on more valuable vehicles.

Fantastic! All tallies up with what the seller has said, and no outstanding finance as I expected.

Pixelpeep7r, and Snollygoster, thanks for your help - you're legends

Looking forward to having a practical workhorse finally - just two days to wait now, £80 to add to my insurance policy, tax to buy, my mates car to fuel, and the bike to fuel for the return leg. Had a fair bit of budget creep in the end, but with only 2900 miles on it i'm hoping it's worth the trip

I see your point, but I was prepared to go into it without a check anyway, since I have no reason to believe that anything is dody with the seller, or the bike, so the checks kindly provided are good enough for me, especially since they tally up with what the seller has said.

I really just wanted to know that it hadn't been written off previously

I have absolutely no reason to believe it would be stolen - seller is very respectable indeed.
