HPI have got it wrong a few times IMO. I bought a ka years ago knowing full well it was damaged/repaired and recorded,even had the vcar printout.
I bought a 5 pack of hpi's on a deal and had literally a day to claim the last one so shoved the reg in for fun complete with chassis number.
Came back totally clear.
Had issues with a cossie back in the 90's,showed up as clear but had been written off,too late I'd already bought it,tried claiming off them and some Asian boy basically told me to fuck off.
Never mattered as the cars were worth so little back then it got broke eventually for bits and shell scrapped.
