HPI works alongside the police,[1] DVLA, finance and insurance companies to generate detailed vehicle history reports for consumers in the second-hand car market. The report, called HPI Check, informs consumers whether a vehicle has outstanding finance, been stolen, written off as a total loss,[2] has a mileage discrepancy,[3] had a plate change, been cloned, or has an outstanding logbook loan.[4][5][6][7] The HPI Check can be performed on any vehicle that is registered in the UK with the DVLA, including caravans[8] and quad bikes. In 2008, HPI were acquired by Solera.[9] HPI Headquarters are currently situated in Leeds.[10]
