What to look at in the history.

Four things that quickly tell you how the car was maintained.

About the data sources →
  • The rhythm of visits

    Compare the gap between visits with the model's service interval. Visits on time point to a well-kept car.

  • Mileage from row to row

    The mileage rises from one visit to the next. The same readings also appear on the report's mileage chart.

  • The country of each visit

    For an imported car you see how it was maintained abroad and what was done after it arrived in its new country.

  • Today's condition, at the viewing

    The history shows what was done. How the car is now is something you confirm with a garage check before you pay.

How to read gaps in the history.

A year without visits isn't automatically a problem. Pick the situation you see in the report and find out what may explain it and which documents to ask for.

A year or more without any visit

Garage visitInspection onlyNothing found
Possible explanations
  • The car stood still, for example with an owner who drove little.
  • It was serviced at a garage that doesn't share data.
  • The model's service interval is long. On some cars it is up to two years.
What to ask the seller for

The service invoice from that period or the stamp in the service book, with the mileage. Compare the gap with the manufacturer's interval.

What to ask the seller.

With the history in front of you, the questions become specific. Four questions based on what you see in the report.

What was done at the last service?

The report shows the date, mileage and work of the last visit. Ask for the invoice and work out how long until the next service.

Do you have invoices for the major work?

If the history shows work on the automatic gearbox, the brakes or the engine, the invoice shows the parts replaced and the cost.

When was the timing belt or chain replaced?

If you can't find a row about the timing belt and the mileage is past the manufacturer's interval, ask for proof. It's one of the most expensive maintenance jobs.

Where was the damage repaired?

A "Damage detected" row tells you when it happened. Ask for the repair documents; the affected areas are in the report's damage section.

Service history questions.
What you find in a car's history and how to use it.
Enter the VIN on this page. You see which car it is for free, and the full report lists the service records found, by year, with the date, mileage, country and work done.
From the service records of garages and dealers that share data, from Romanian technical inspections for cars registered there, and from damage claims. Visits to garages that don't share data don't appear.
Yes. The work is translated into the report's language, even when it was recorded in another language in the country of origin. Long descriptions are sometimes summarised; the full details stay on the invoice.
No. Garage names and other data that could identify people don't appear in the report. You see the date, country, mileage and work done.
No, it complements it. Put them side by side: a visit stamped in the book that doesn't appear in the report can be confirmed with the garage invoice.
