Help Please...

Im looking to buy a 172 somepoint in the next week and i have been enquiring about one advertised on autotrader. The problem is the guy says it has a full renault service history but there is no receipt for the cambelt being done so he is unsure if it has been done.

Is there anyway to check this or shall i just avoid the car completely?

Thanks in advance

If you know where it's been serviced then you can call the dealership that did the service and they'll tell you.

if it has "full renault service history" it should have a stamp of address and contact number in the service book

do that, yh if not mate just try knock off like 500 cause it needs doing!!!

If it does have a genuine 'FRSH' then surely it will have had the cambelt change at 5 years or 72k cause isn't it down in the service book to be done at these times? Would there be any reason why Renault wouldn't do exactly what is supposed to be done?
