Default HPI check

Which check gives the best value for money? I want one that covers everything.

I think the real answer is there's is no such thing as a HPi check that covers "everything"

I've seen so many HPi clear cars that have had been heavily crash damaged but repaired either by owner or insurance, but because it's not written off, it will never show up. Infact right now I have a 2yr old Audi Q8 in our back yard awaiting new airbags and to have its hybrid 48v electrics turned back on (crash deactivated 48v system). Its owner repaired (not by me), it's totally HPi clear despite being rolled onto its side, buckling most of the suspension and blowing most of the airbags/pretensioners.

But to check if stolen, still on finance then RAC, HPi (the original one), AA.

Mileage verification and MOT history on cars over 3yrs old can be done for free: https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
