Car Fraud

If you buy a car that is stolen, illegal (e.g. a 'cut and shut') or has outstanding credit, you have no legal right of ownership and it can be confiscated or returned to the rightful owner. If buying from a dealer, ask what checks they've performed, or you could pay for a 'history report' from companies such as HPI to check whether a car was previously written off, damaged, stolen, or has any outstanding finance.

Tip: If buying privately, always view the car at the seller's home to be sure of their address.
