Yes. Most UK vehicles serviced at franchised dealers have digital service records that can be retrieved by registration number. Enter your reg above to find your service history.

Service stamps in a paper book are only one record of servicing. Manufacturers also store digital records centrally. We retrieve those records direct from manufacturer systems — even if you've lost the book.

We retrieve records from manufacturer dealership systems. Independent garage work is generally not stored centrally unless the garage uses the manufacturer's authorised systems. MOT history (which we also include) covers any garage that performed an MOT.

Most manufacturers began electronic record-keeping around 2012. Older vehicles may have limited or no digital records. If we find nothing, your card is not charged.

Yes. We use the registration to query manufacturer databases directly. Payment is processed securely through Stripe. Your data is only used to deliver your report.

Most reports arrive within 1–2 minutes of payment. We submit the lookup to the manufacturer dealer system as soon as the card is authorised. If the dealer system is slow we hold the order and email you the report when it lands — typically the same hour.

No. The manufacturer dealer system only holds records for visits to franchised dealerships. Independent garage services don't appear in the manufacturer database — that's the same gap any main dealer would see if you asked them directly. For independents, look for paper invoices or receipts from the seller.

If you have the 17-character VIN you can run the lookup at /check-service-history-by-vin instead. The VIN route is helpful for imports, vehicles awaiting registration, or auction stock. Otherwise the UK registration (VRM) is the easiest way to identify the vehicle.

Manufacturer digital service records typically start around 2012. Earlier vehicles may have partial or no electronic records — the warning that appears at checkout flags pre-2012 vehicles. If we can't find any records your card isn't charged.

No — an HPI check covers stolen markers, write-off categories, outstanding finance, and mileage anomalies. A service history check covers manufacturer dealer service records and DVSA MOT history. Used-car buyers usually want both: the HPI confirms the car is legitimately for sale; the service history confirms it's been maintained.
