Here at DesperateSeller.co.uk, we're working hard to ensure that buying and selling is as fuss-free and fun as it can be. And we're very much aware that your biggest fear is ending up with a car that has a murky past - because it has been stolen, or rebuilt after a serious crash. 

Relax. We've made DesperateSeller.co.uk a safer place to shop. Any car that has a HPi checked logo ensures that the vehicle isn't recorded by the police on industry databases as stolen, or that the DVLA has it down as fit only for scrapping.

You can also be sure that the vehicle hasn't been "written off" by an insurer because it has been stolen or crashed.

Good though it is, our history check does not ensure there aren't unpaid loan debts secured on the car. There are further risks, too. For the best possible peace of mind, you are strongly advised to carry out a full history and provenance check just before you buy.
