Hi all

Just wondering did a HPI check on a car it says category N non structural etc is there any way of checking or knowing what the damage was ? The HPi check doesn’t say

Many thanks

Easiest way is to get that info off the seller as even if it was prior to them owning it, or selling it on if a dealer, they should have asked the same question.

Otherwise if it's been through a salvage site like Copart dealing with insurance write-offs amongst other stuff, there may be photos of it if paying for a better car check that picks those up, though try to find one not as costly as Car Vertical as that's a lot of money per check even with a discount code of a youtuber plugging it. There are threads on this site where people discuss the car check services so the best value current ones may be different from when I last used them. They were around a tenner tops for a decent check so worth paying just in case.

Do a VCheck & you'll normally get photos of the damage.
