Dodgy service history for new car purchase.

[Matt_E_Mulsion]

For some reason I'd got in into my head it'd only done 20,000.

Would 'one owner from new' really have used 3 different garages for their servicing???

I don't know how close geographically they are to each other.

Paisley and clydebank are 20 ish mins away according to google so a house move could be the reason for that or just a better price.

The third one is the dealer im buying the car from.

So had I!

I find it a bit concerning that the 'one owner' had the car serviced three times at intervals a bit over 12 months each time or a touch longer, then from 2017 and a jump of 20,000 miles did nothing that is documented.

If there is a better car out there I'd buy that one instead as this one just makes me wonder if it is hiding a little secret. But it's not the worst history or set of circumstances on the face of it, if you really think that the car is okay.

Versus the service history.

How many people actually put a line through their 7's???

All four of those services have the 7's with a line through.

Am I being overly suspicious?

I always write the mot mileages, and servicing mileages, down on paper together.

It then stands out if they dont compare well.

Yours compares ok.

That’s really helpful and not something i would of thought to do. My dad would of done but not me, thatvis a huge compliment bu the way!

Thanks again im definitely leaning to taking a chance on it. Anything Hybriddy stands a good chance of minicab use i guess.

Ah thank you, it's saved me a few times.

Especially when you find a tyre invoice, or a breakdown sheet, where the mileage doesn't add up lol.

Best save was a lovely Jag. Found a stray tyre invoice in the glovebox with a different mileage on to the service history.

Some car data checks will check for taxi records. Car vertical being one i know of. Worth a few quid in my opinion!
