I thought the auction companies did HPI checks? Assuming you bought it at auction of course.  ::)

Nope, I swapped it for a Golf.

Had this email back:


Good afternoon,

Thanks for your email.

I had a look on the system at vehicle S4ABG, Bmw 330i Sport Auto, and can
confirm this vehicle is NOT currently stolen. There is no adverse history
showing on the vehicle. The only thing highlighted is the fact the vehicle
had a private plate on it:-

The plate history is as follows:-

Registration              On               Off

**** ***                                  1 Dec 2004
S4ABG                   1 Dec 2004

So one of the owners have registered a private plate to the vehicle. You
would not need to worry about this as the system does check through all
the plates on the vehicle as well as the VIN/chassis. This is always the
same even if the plates change from time to time.

Kind regards,
Customer Care

So I've emailed back requesting they change the wording, as I don't see that very good. It's put a buyer off already. Also I should point out, I done another check on another vehicle I've got with a private plate, and that doesn't say the same thing.
