alchresearch Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 In simple terms it means the car might not be worth as much if they're going to pay you out. In complex terms they might try and look for a defect or fault in your car to avoid paying out. Get an independent HPI check on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan2802 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Where did you buy the car from? If it was Auto Trader do you still have a copy of the advert & photos? Just build your case and provide as much evidence as possible. The fact the car was MOT'ed a month ago should confirm the cars condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just build your case and provide as much evidence as possible. The fact the car was MOT'ed a month ago should confirm the cars condition. i bought it from a privert buyer had my mate who works at a garage do a hpi he said no its all good so bought it for 4000 pound the mot was done last month and went strait through. the onl thing ive got is the recipet. how man of us would know the car as been in a crash we bought if you do a hpi and everything is ok how would you know. somebody as told me if the chassie is bent it would need to go on a machine. so the insurance must be sayin everybodywho buys a car we must have this check first or they should be some sort of law sayin takeyourcar when you have bought it to check the chassie showley they carnt do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dink Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Nothing is on the HPI report, so surely they have goto prove that it has been involved in an accident before. Most people HPI a car and if clear assume the car is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don’t see the relevance of a previous accident unless they are saying it wasn’t road worthy. Doesn’t a recent MOT show it was road worthy on that date, even some classes of write offs can be put back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
