HPi is the full check & includes a finance check (probably the most important part of the check) These £20 ones do not give a finance check!!

If you know anyone within the motor trade get them to sort it out & slip them a tenner for their troubles. Trade pays £2 per check for the same info that costs Joe Public £45

AA covers finance, but is around £36 IIRC?

There are currently 3 companies who are licensed to receive DVLA information:

1. Experian Ltd (joint venture with the AA)
2. HPI
3. CarWatch UK

Of the 3 CarWatch do NOT supply finance information, mileage data or indemnity (insurance if the data is wrong). That is why they are cheap!!!! Finance is the most important and most expensive piece of data. If a car has finance on it when you buy the car, the finance company still owns the vehicle NOT YOU. Even if the seller tells you it has finance but claims he has paid it, Experian, the AA and HPI will contact the finance company directly to investigate, CarWatch cannot do this.

Experian supplies the data to the AA for the Car Data Check that they offer. The AA also offer a £19.99 check with no finance data.

There is not ones centralised database, each company pools together the following data:

1. DVLA & DVLNI
2. ABI (Insurance data - e.g. condition)
3. Finance data (Finance and Leasing Association FLA) form all the finance companies
4. Police - PNC (Police National Computer)
5. Hire companies e.g. Hertz
6. Mileage data (each company has its own way of doing this)

Cheers people, yeah Colin has got it right, the main worry for me is the finance as the car is under market value and I'm just a tad suspicious, obviously knowing if it's been in a smack is no bad thing neither - rest of the info I'm not overly concerned with
