Bought a f/focus,but..
Went to look at a high milage f/focus tdci 05 plate today x company car.
The dealer ran off a hpi report on his computer and it was all fine bar finance..
The previous owner was leasing it,(36 mnth lease back in 7/7/08)
So this should be clear now yes?
but why is it still coming up on the hpi check?

As long as he's paid the lease company,i wouldnt have thought there would be a prob.Dont think he'd have all the info and log book and stuff if he had'nt paid for it.

I purchased a car that was shown as having a finance interest by 1 leasing company and 2 HP companies, it transpired that none of them had an interest in the car but none of them had bothered to have their interest in the car removed from the HPI register.
All thats needed is that the dealer currently in possesion of car to contact the leasing company and ask if they still have a financial interest, if they dont then the dealer can request that they update HPI and remove their interest from the register. Takes a couple of days to sort, but worth it in the end.

In all fairness if you buy it the dealer should be responsible for making sure it is completely clear of any finance, etc to enable him to sell it.
However giving the fact that there are many many more cars availiable it may be best just to leave it as other have said.

I'm sure that any reputable dealer will return your deposit if they have messed up re HPI.
Don't ouch it until you're sure it's 100% clear, though.
