About this index

The Service Record Index documents one narrow, practical question for every major car brand sold in the UK: how do you actually get at a car’s service record? It is a reference resource, not a shop. We describe owner portals, dealer routes, independent access and data gaps, and we link out to the primary sources so you can check the facts yourself.

How facts are verified

Everything on a manufacturer page is drawn from a single structured dataset, and every brand carries a confidence badge:

• Verified — confirmed first-hand by our team (for example, a dealer charge we’ve checked directly).
• Reported — taken from official sources or careful desk research, but not yet confirmed first-hand.
• Unconfirmed — we don’t yet know, and we say so rather than guess.

Dealer charges are the hardest facts to pin down because manufacturers don’t publish them and policies vary dealer by dealer. Most therefore sit as unconfirmed while we gather first-hand figures. That is deliberate: an honest “unknown” is more useful than an invented number, and it invites the corrections that make the index better.

Update cadence

Each page shows when its data was last reviewed. We revisit brands as portals change, networks restructure and readers send corrections. Owner apps in particular are renamed and reworked often, so the “last verified” date matters — treat an old date with appropriate caution.

Corrections policy

If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we’ll fix it and update the review date. First-hand dealer-charge figures are especially welcome — they are the data most worth collecting. Email hello@findservicehistory.com.

For the underlying public records we reference throughout, start with MOT history and the V5C guidance on GOV.UK, and the SERMI scheme for security-related access.

Who makes this — and our disclosure

This resource is researched and maintained by the team behind FindServiceHistory, a UK service that produces aggregated vehicle service-history reports. We think the relationship is worth stating plainly rather than hiding: it’s why we can afford to research this properly, and it’s why each manufacturer page mentions an aggregated report as one route among several. We keep that to a single contextual mention per page, we link to the genuine authorities alongside it, and we never pretend an aggregated report is the only option — the owner portal, the dealer and an independent check are all covered on equal terms.

The index sits on its own domain, its own hosting and its own analytics, separate from FindServiceHistory. That separation is normal for a reference asset and, again, we’d rather be open about it.
