Re: Buying a used car...

If the car hasn't been involved in collissions that went through insurance then it wont be on an HPI report anyway.

Ask the dealer the questions which I think were in Handyman's post. Get them documented, and that way if you do find the car was dodgy, you have something to say that the dealer told you there was nothing wrong with it.
I don't know what thats worth in court tho, cause the dealer could say he's answering in good faith.

Best motors on the market mate, you'll not be disapionted with your purchase. I know loads of Taxi drivers who have them and they love em to bits,even the Police round here have them now for patrol cars. Skodas rock for me I'd have a car park full of them if i could.

Any reputable dealer will give you an HPI check free of charge
