Service History

[Madman]

Hi,

Just a quick one Is there any way of finding out the service history on a clio i bought.
It has some history like reciepts for work carried out but no Service book as this was stolen when the car was.


Thanks in advance.

No. Wouldn't have touched it in the 1st place tbh.

Have you had the belts done etc?

This would be ringing alarm bells in my head.

As Joe says, touch, wouldn't, pole, barge, with, it, a.

The car is mint and i got it cheap, Its got service history from 19,000 miles. when the owner before me had it.
She bought it straight after it was stolen and had a full RAC inspection done which showed the damage to the car, there was only scratches and a couple of minor dents nothing major. All belts and a full service is being done on Saturday.
I knew what i was looking for when i bought this one as i have had 172's in the past

Fair enough. As long as you keep ontop of it then i'm sure it will be fine. There is no way of obtaining a service history though.

Service history doesn't bother me in the slightly, maybe I'm a risk taker :evil:

The most reliable car I ever owned had no history at all... in fact the only car I've ever bought with full history was my Clio, which gave me untold trouble.

If its been serviced at a main stealer, i'd imagine they can search via the reg number ??

i work for VW, and if a customer wants a replacement service book the servicing dealer can re-stamp a new one.

I realise thats VW,but might be worth popping into your local dealer and asking mate?

Ah that's fair enough lad. Just thinking as a buyer after you, asking the same questions but at you not on a forum. But if you've had the checks, bonny!

I'd be getting the belts done regardless.

As above mate there being done on Saturday.

you can mate, When i had my 182 i was moving house a few years back and like a pleb misplaced the service book, I approached my dealer and explained the situation.. I had a folder full of reciepts and im sure if the new owner is on here he will testify (J200 SPT).. Anyway paid £10 to get a new book and then all they did was search the service computer thingy-ma-bob and then they entered all the correct information back in.. Worth £10 IMO as made it much easier to sell

No prob.. Not sure if everyone charges a tenner but my local dealer is owned by a tight fisted cnut so would take everything he could.. Defo worth enquiring though
