Hi guys, after a bit of advice from over the water.....

I've found a car in Belfast, that I'd like to buy...

Now it appears that the UK HPi folk, can't do a thorough, gauanteed check on their database, for cars registered in NI...

So how do you guys get cars checked out over there..... Is there a reliable NI version of the HPI check that I can use??

Sadly, dont think there is. It is a bit odd that HPI dont cover fully, but I had heard that before myself.

It's been mentioned that AA do not do inspections here, which I found strange. I'm almost certain RAC do though. Maybe give them a shout ?

What is it you are interested in ?

Any decent car dealer here will be able to do a HPI check on any vehicle registered here or on the main land, I have had it done many times.

Just ran into this problem with HPI last night, details some issues, mostly in agreement with owner. Mileage out by a mile but not too many 70,000 mile 2007 GT3 around so that should be confirmed by dealership today in Belfast. I like the fact that HPI bill you then state that they will not guarantee any of the data!
