Default HPI Vehicle checks, or similar

Been a while since I last bought a car and always used to use HPI for the vehicle checks.
Over the years many more checking services have appeared.

Are HPI still considered the best as they are alot more expensive then the MMS Txt check versions.

do you still get the same guarantee with the others ??

Some also allow multi vehicle.

any guidance appreciated

Don't forget that if it's an Impreza, post up the reg on here, someone may know it or be aware of it's history.

Hi Scott, long time.

Any company that offers a full HPi check will return the same results from the same sources.

netcar.co.uk for example. Just make sure your getting the 'Full Report' and the results you require, and i can't see a problem.
