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