I’m interested in buying a Macan to use as a day to day car alongside my 991. However, the service book has been mislaid. I tried phoning Porsche customer service to check whether there’s any history and they hid behind the GDPR excuse (though they wouldn’t be releasing owner data). Any other manufacturers I’ve spoken to in the past give basic info out (dates/miles/dealer), so it’s a bit disappointing! Just wondering if there’s anyone on here that would be able to check, or has any other suggestions for how to check?

Thanks

Personally, I'd be concerned about the inability to show a service history.

Plenty of Macans out there, might be safer to look elsewhere.
It’s a Macan turbo and a good price if it has service history, hence trying to check!

Keep it simple, because documented service history isn't the be all and end all.
  • What's the age?
  • What's the mileage?
  • How many previous owners?
  • Who's the seller?
Sorry, I don’t understand the post. I have all that info, but was trying to find out if there is also Porsche history. It may be that it’s not something Porsche central customer service will give out except to a registered keeper - if I draw a blank here I guess I’ll pop in to my local dealer at the weekend and ask there.

With a VIN number a Porsche Centre can print all Porsche service action and any recall/campaigns plus resale 111 checks. Not invoice level detail but action code level with descriptions.
Ok, thanks
