At Anchor Vans, ensuring transparency and peace of mind for our customers is paramount. That's why we conduct a comprehensive HPI® check on every used van in our stock.

This detailed report reveals any concerning information held by finance and insurance companies, the DVLA, the Police, and other industry bodies. Recognised as a crucial step in the used vehicle buying process, the HPI® Check serves as your first line of defense against potential vehicle fraud, assuring you of the history and reliability of your van.
