About car's service history

What is a car's service history?

A service history check provides a detailed record of a vehicle’s past maintenance, including service dates, mileage, work undertaken, and the dealerships or garages involved.

It helps you verify how well a car has been looked after before you buy or sell. It typically includes:

  • The date and type of service (e.g., interim or full) and parts replaced.

  • All recorded service dates and mileage readings.

  • Whether the vehicle has a Full Service History (FSH), partial history, or no history.

  • Which independent garage or main dealer network carried out the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Historically, servicing was typically recorded in a physical service book, which the owner or garage would stamp to document all work undertaken. However, manufacturers now utilise a centralised digital system to maintain records for vehicles that have undergone maintenance over the years. This data can be accessed via the Full Car Checks service history check.

A vehicle’s service history provides a comprehensive record of its maintenance over its lifetime.

Cars that are serviced regularly are generally more reliable and less prone to mechanical failure. Conversely, missing or incomplete service records can highlight potential issues or previous neglect.

FSH stands for Full Service History. This indicates that the vehicle possesses a complete record of all services carried out. A car with FSH has been maintained strictly according to the manufacturer’s schedule, ensuring it remains reliable and well-cared-for.

A Full Service History includes detailed records of all maintenance and repairs performed on the vehicle throughout its life.

PSH stands for Part Service History (or Partial Service History). This means the vehicle’s service record is incomplete.

This suggests the vehicle has not been officially maintained at regular intervals; however, having some service history is certainly preferable to having none at all.

Most modern vehicles feature digital service records maintained by the manufacturer, providing an accurate and up-to-date maintenance history. Older vehicles often rely on physical service books, which can be easily lost, incomplete, or potentially falsified.
