▸ HPI / Provenance · UK Network
hpiplus.com is a UK vehicle-data tool that takes a single registration and returns what the official records actually say about the car behind it. No upsold marketing copy in front of the data, no fabricated "risk indicators" pulled from nothing — the report shows what is on file and where it came from. HPI Plus combines the standard provenance check with AI damage scans and predictive service health.
Data sourced live from DVLA, MIAFTR, PNC and the UK lender register at lookup time.
Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.
Built and supported in the UK as part of the consumer side of the network.
/ Insurance shortcuts
Most people checking a vehicle on hpiplus.com need cover for it within the same day or week. Rather than send you back to a comparison site, the four panels below route directly to UK specialists for the most common short-notice insurance situations.

Several competing services issue a single 1-to-10 'risk score' that is not derived from any defined methodology. We don't. Where this report applies a score, the underlying factors and weights are listed beside it, so a buyer or trade-in customer can see exactly which finding moved the number.
Every MOT, service stamp and previous V5C transaction records a mileage figure. When those figures are plotted in time order, rollback or 'clocking' typically shows as a sharp drop in recorded mileage followed by a slow climb. The report flags any decrease above 100 miles between consecutive records and any year where the change implausibly exceeds normal annual mileage for the make.
If the report shows nothing of concern, ask to see the V5C in person and compare the VIN on the document to the one stamped on the chassis and printed on the dash. If the report flags something, raise it directly: a Category N write-off is not necessarily a deal-breaker, but a seller who claims a car has no history when MIAFTR shows otherwise is telling you something important about the rest of the conversation.
/ Brand consolidation
hpiplus.com is now part of Expert Car Check — the consolidated UK vehicle-data platform that several of these older brands have joined. The data sources are unchanged: DVLA's vehicle record, DVSA's MOT history, MIAFTR for write-offs, the Police National Computer feed for theft markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team, the underwriting partners and the support contact are the same. What's changed is that the work that was previously spread across several smaller brands now sits in one place, which keeps response times tight and the underlying registers maintained against current DVLA schemas. Bookmarks and historic links to hpiplus.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to hpiplus.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

Raise it directly with the seller before any money changes hands. A Category N marker is not always a deal-breaker but a seller who denies the marker exists is telling you something separate about the rest of the transaction.
DVLA records are refreshed every 6 hours. MIAFTR and PNC are live at lookup. Finance registers are updated by participating lenders as agreements are opened, settled or transferred.
A basic free check returns MOT, tax and a stolen marker. A full HPI check adds outstanding finance, insurance write-off categories, full mileage history with anomaly detection, plate change history and provenance flags. For any purchase over a few thousand pounds, the full check is the relevant one.
It confirms that at the moment of lookup no insurer, lender or police force has logged a marker against the vehicle. It does not guarantee mechanical health or undeclared cash repairs. Re-run the check on the day of collection, since records can change between viewing and handover.
