Buying car from ROIreland
Discussion
If they're main dealer stamps, ring the Irish distributor and see what they have electronically for service history. Lot of businesses went under in ROI just as elsewhere when economy went screwy so it's possible it's genuine, but could just be some dodgy stamps made up to look genuine.
You might be able to trace the MoT history for it from the previous UK registration, but most likely it will come up as unknown unless it's been re-registered onto the same UK plate already. Only real reason to put fake stamps in a service book is to try and cover up a 'haircut' on the mileage, which MoT history in the UK should show up, or a complete lack of actual maintenance.
End of the day if it smells fishy just find another or if it's cheap enough and drives well and you'll keep it till it dies, don't worry about it but pay accordingly.

OP try www.cartell.ie for a small fee it will tell you absolutely everything about the history of the car and whether there is a discrepancy in mileage, if it was off the road for any amount of time, if it was a UK import etc. Very good site.
