Hi all

Went to see a RRS for a friend who will be joining the club soon and the chap selling the car forgot to mention he has misplaced the service history

Car seems ok but concerned about buying a car with no history

Is there anyway to retrieve service history from Land Rover? RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED
EVERY POSSIBLE SOFTWARE UPDATE INCLUDING - BLUTOOTH UPDATE, SATNAV ON THE MOVE, CLOCK ON DASH, 3 CLICK FLASH, GEARBOX RESET, COMPRESSOR UPDATE AND SUSPENSION LOWERED,
BLACK CODE RE-MAPPED, AUTOBIOGRAPHY'D, NEW EXIDE BATTERY, NEW DENSO ALTERNATOR

If you can get the VIN then a franchised dealer's service dept should be able to get the computerised records as far as they go........ But once out of warranty and a few years down the line I wouldn't hold out hope of success on that front as once they fall out of the dealer network then the records stop. Ask the seller if he has any receipts available and if not then I would assume that it hasn't had any TLC and walk away from it as there are loads of L320's with full history still out there. Any chances of posting a link to the car? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Agreed. Walk away. My service history is a wadge of papers about an inch thick covering the last 5 years plus the pointless silly book with stamps in. If the owner can't show any history then the vehicle is a huge risk. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Tricky one. My work colleague bought a Vogue S/C over the phone from a dealer with 'lost' service history, 2006 64000mls and it's turned out to be a good 'un. I wouldn't risk it but you take your chance.

take a "petrol head" with you and give it a no holds barred test drive...
ive had a few with very little history,
you could buy some thing with "full history"... drive it round the corner and it goes bang..

no history does not mean its a nail... just a bigger gamble... but arn't all motors ?
