Service history means f**k all on cars of this age/mileage/cost. I change the oil etc myself on a regular basis, that won't show on a service history. And I could get a fictional, fully stamped history in 24hrs.
I think just a stamped book is not enough.
My car has full history right up to when I bought it. I do all work myself, but i still write it in the book, keep all reciepts, write down when any work is done, and if someone was to look through my folder they would see a lot more info than a stamped book, to me thats service history, and that, to me, shows that the owner was caring enough to do it, then more than likely he/she has looked after the car.
Course as Bear has meantioned, you have to look carefully as getting a stamped book is rediculously easy.

Clio 172 ph1 with ITB's
110k just now, 90 miles a day on itbs daily driver.
Like folk said maintenance is the key I would imagine. Although newish to the clio's, like all cars, look after them they will be fine

80k itbs was my daily driver since last November regular oil changes and maintenance and it'll go on forever. As long as you don't let cow boys work on it that is
Thanks guys.
If I bought a well looked after one with 110k+ or whatever miles, other than regular oil changes what else needs to be done in order to keep her going?
