HPI, the independent vehicle information provider, has become an approved supplier of vehicle and mileage checks to the Lexus Used Approved Scheme.

Under the new arrangement, Lexus dealers will be able to use the new HPI Check and National Mileage Register, backed by Lexus branded facilities.

Mike Whitington, business planning manager for Lexus, said: 'By including an HPI-branded customer certificate in our handover packs, we will be giving reassurance in the quality of our Used Approved scheme and the vehicle they are purchasing.'
