And he bought it 8 days after salvageThe seller claims it’s been his personal car for 4 months, as far as he is aware no accidents.
Certainly it was one to watch watch for when importing Mustangs before they made them for this market.Wasn't there a similar scam, in buying & importing foreign cars that were CAT's but during the importation they weren't registered as CAT cars over here, therefore showing HPI clear.

Interesting. ThanksYou cannot claim on HPI guarantee for this, as TCs exclude that exact situation.
In simple words Guarantee warrants that HPI presents the information the way, it is recorded in the official database, if the official record is wrong/incomplete, etc. HPI won't take responsibility and payout anything as this was not their fault.
Happy to help anyway! I see there is no need to explain it more then I was only worried that people driving cars like one below with their families in, may get a bit of surprise when they are involved in accident after buying such NON-accident vehicle, which potentially has no airbags as they were replaced by some £5 emulators from eBay. What's more, I feel the crumple zone may not be as effective on the second occasion either

If HPI won’t take responsibility for the record being wrong or incomplete, what are the circumstances under which they will pay out?

The AutoExpress article quotes them as saying:
HPI: It “works tirelessly to improve the coverage and accuracy of its data and is carrying out increasingly more checks year on year, and as such is identifying a growing number of vehicles hitting the register as write-offs”. The firm highlighted that buyers are protected by a guarantee of up to £30,000 if it supplies inaccurate or incomplete information; however, this guarantee is capped at £15,000 if it’s discovered that a vehicle has been written-off.
and adds :
The MIB confirmed HPI and Experian are the only two provenance companies with access to MIAFTR, with other history-checkers using data provided by these two firms.
Fletcher added: “The people providing the vehicle provenance checks understand the issues. They provide guarantees in the circumstances where there is a problem.”
