Hpi check

Post by bub2006 »

Has anyone got a trade account or similar who wouldn't mind checking my van please? I cant pay 20 quid out for 1 check if it doeant tell me what I need to know. The van has had a knock at some point and its showing as cat c. Now I know the category was changed in 2017 to s and n so I'm guessing cat c being shown would be prior to 2017? I'm worried about engineer reports etc even though its insured fine and I've got log book etc here with no questions from dvla. Thanks.

Do a for sale listing in autotrader for nothing. It’ll show any recorded cat status as part of the advert. Then delete ad.


Less annoying tag line.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

I did that,showing cat c. I wanted a bit more information about it like when it happened and what happened. Nothings flagged on insurance though.

You don't really get any more than that apart from the date.

Doors it have the bit on the logbook about it being written off, I think that may have a date on it? If not I shouldn't worry about it

It does yes but no date. I know it was definitely before 2017 as that was when cat c and d went to s and n
