Possibly those in the motor trade might be able to do an HPI check from chassis number?

If you can help out please let me know!

Cheers

there are ways of doing this yourself, online databases online go back so far so depends on the age of vehicle

Any hints as to where to look? early 90's so after the VIN was standardised.

Cheers

Nope, not a Ford mate, but thanks for the offer!

Yes, but without being in the trade I've yet to find anywhere this is possible online, all the ones I've found work from Reg and provide chassis number in the details, unless you know of somewhere?

Just enter the reg number then you will have the chassis number to compare
Is there some dodgy reason you need to do it on the chassis number !

I have been offered a vehicle for sale. Seems a great opportunity and it has been in storage. It is however missing its plates and log book misplaced. I have the vin but struggled to find anywhere I can get any info from.

it’s a 15 year old Ford and first thing I did was check ford Etis. However Etis has a build date but no registration date so no reg number.

can anyone help please. Happy to pay for the information.

thanks

mark
