Title: HPi check info
Post by: Corrado1441 on 31 January 2012, 23:34:33

Am selling a car and got email from someone asking for Reg,chassis number and V5 number ?
Is it normal for the V5 number to be needed for an HPi check ?
Had a lot of blank V5's stolen in Northern Ireland so I'm just being sceptical or am I worrying for no reason ?

Thanks

I believe it is normal. But I'd be cautious too ::)

Just be carefull who it is you give the info to, you can get an in depth hpi and you do need the numbers from the v5,mot, etc but with so many scammers about its a minefield,

no way would i give out the v5 number the hpi can be done on reg number, this is how people clone cars by people giving out information like v5 number, chassis number etc

the first you will know about it is when the speeding/parking tickets etc etc come through your door  >:(

best way is to get an hpi certificate yourself then state that in your adverts  :y

all they should need for full on HPi is the reg number and  chassis number....     no document numbers.....    (if they're a separate thing?  )
