Fake Service History?
Discussion
Not really sure where I stand with this?
Treated myself to another car as a comfy runabout. It was some distance away at a small dealership / sales place, but I was attracted by the very low mileage, so paid maybe more than I should have.
Looking through the service and MOT history I saw the previous owner lived in Glasgow, had the car MOT’d in Glasgow, but the last 9 services were done in Peterborough.
The dates and mileages are the same. One or two are a day apart or a couple of miles apart.
I’ve contacted the garage regarding what I’ve found and they are very surprised and they don’t know what to do either. I have no reason not to believe them - but it is ironic this address that’s stamped up is just down the road from them.
The car itself is very clean, clean bodywork and underneath so I don’t think it’s been clocked as it looks a low miler. All visible fluids look very clean too, so it’s been well looked after.

Thanks for advice guys.
It’s been an absolute nightmare.
I thought I was getting somewhere - after a few phone calls back and forth the bloke I’ve been talking to turned very aggressive. He told me to leave it with a small car sales place on the other end of my town, he said they own that. Went there last night with the car and they were thoroughly confused and had no connection with him.
Really struggled to get into contact with him whilst there, so left the premises of this place as it wasn’t fair me hanging about. This place really tried to help me in fairness.
He then rang me in the evening with an upheld number, shouting down the phone at me, apparently he can’t be arsed with me, I’m a waste of space, it’s only a few grand and he couldn’t give the slightest care if I was to go down the legal route, repeatedly shouting ‘go on then sue me’ and eventually hung up.
I’m not a push over, but blimey this is hard work to sort out.
