Fictional example – not a customer case
Signal
A workshop invoice records 82,000 km in May 2024. The current advert states 96,000 km, with no records supplied for the period between them.
Why it matters
These two entries do not establish what work took place between them. The gap proves neither missed servicing nor a mechanical defect.
Ask before viewing
Ask the seller for the intervening records and details of outstanding work. Then compare the documents with the maintenance requirements for that vehicle.
