Does motorcheck.ie tell you how many times a car has been serviced?

    I would say that most of the Mileage Records held by Cartell, etc are simply compiled by using the mileage entered by people when a Car check is requested.
    The customer will enter the mileage shown on the Car at the present time and this is logged by Cartell.
    Apart from this they usually tell you there is a discrepancy/issue with a car's mileage when it over/under their idea of average annual mileage for a particular model.
    I've asked several of the Car Sales Guys that I used to work with and none of their Garages have ever given mileage data to any Car Check Companies. Although the mileage would be entered into their system at the time of servicing, they don't think that the Importers/Distributors share this info either.
    They reckon that any 'Dealer input' is simply what mileage a Dealer enters when they themselves are doing a check.
    I'm open to correction on this, but i don't think that the 'National Mileage Register' referred to by Cartell, etc is as sophisticated as it sounds.
    Pretty sure any garages using the likes of Kerridge would be sharing this data.

    As I said Colm I am open to correction here.:o
    I only spoke to Sales Guys so it could well be that if mileage data is given automatically to Cartell they might not be aware of this.

    Motorcheck only tells you if a car has finance owing,is/was stolen etc, its not a service record, Thats what the service record handbook is designed for.

    None of the motor check services in this country can tell you if the car is stolen.

    I would be very surprised if you didn't get it back tbh.

    I hope so, it was never advertised with a full service history... I just presumed that main dealers wouldn't sell a car without a verified history. Genuine oversight and literally the only reason I'm not going through with it.
