Hey folks, a car has come up for sale down the road from me that looks like a motor bike or something has hit the bootlid. the guy selling it first said he was waiting on the insurance to sort it but that they had let him keep it. He's now saying that it's not on the register (HPI?).

I know you have a choice when you tell the insurance about this sort of stuff if you decide to claim or not, but if he has, will it show up on a hpi check? how long does it take for stuff to show up on there?

Its a clio 16v that on the face of it needs a new tailgate, but I'll have a proper nosey first underneath (guy reckons the boot wont open, creased floor?)

Mucho gracias, hopefully gonna get it this week if its a good 'un and theres no claim history to it.
