Service History
Buying or selling a used car? VIN Story specialises in retrieving the service history a vehicle manufacturer holds against your VIN — visit dates, mileage readings, work logged at each entry — and delivers it as a clean PDF report straight to your inbox.
What You’ll See in Your Report
Each report draws on the official service records a vehicle manufacturer holds against your VIN — every visit logged by the authorised dealer network, retrieved on your behalf and presented in a clean, readable format.

How It Works
From VIN to a structured service-history report in three steps.
Enter the VIN
Provide the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number — found on the dashboard, the driver-side door pillar, or in the vehicle's registration documents.
We Look Up the Records
VIN Story queries the official service records a vehicle manufacturer holds against your VIN — every visit the authorised dealer network has logged — and prepares a structured summary.
Get Your PDF Report
A clean, structured report lands in your inbox — listing each recorded service visit, the work logged at the time, and the mileage at every entry. Usually within minutes, no longer than 12 hours.
What's Inside Every Report
VIN Story reveals the maintenance biography sellers can’t hide and paper service books can’t prove.
Every Recorded Service Visit
A chronological list of the service visits a vehicle manufacturer holds against your VIN — with the date of each visit and the work logged at the time.
Mileage at Every Visit
The odometer reading captured at the moment of each recorded service — a multi-point trail through the vehicle's life that helps you spot inconsistencies.
Work & Items Logged
The services and items recorded against each visit. The level of detail reflects what the workshop entered at the time.
Repairer Name & Location
Where the manufacturer's record carries it, the report shows the name and location of the workshop that carried out each service.
Vehicle Identity
Factory data tied to the VIN — model, model year and core specification, as held by the vehicle manufacturer.
Independent & Transparent
VIN Story is an independent service. We retrieve and present the records the manufacturer holds for your VIN — we don't aggregate, edit or rebrand them.
Coverage and detail vary by manufacturer and depend on what the workshop entered against the vehicle at the time. Some reports are richer than others — we pass through every field we receive. VIN Story is an independent service and is not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or dealership.
Supported Manufacturers
We currently retrieve service records for vehicles from the manufacturers listed below. Enter your VIN above to check availability.
What Our Customers Say
Real notes from people who’ve used VIN Story to settle a buying or selling decision.
“Was looking at a used C-Class on a Saturday and the seller said 'full service history' but couldn't actually find any of the paperwork. Ran the VIN through this — five dealer visits came back with the mileage at each. Paid up Monday.”
David L.
Private Buyer
“I sold my Polo last month and just attached the report PDF to the listing. Two of the people who came to view it said they showed up specifically because there was real service history attached. Got a bit more than I was expecting.”
Sofia M.
Private Seller
“Honestly I just wanted to check if the service was legit before trusting it on something serious. Paid for a report on my own car first. Came back in about four minutes with every visit. Used it on the actual car I was buying the next week.”
Tomáš K.
Used-Car Buyer
“Seller swore the car had been to the dealer every year. The report showed two visits in six years. Slightly awkward conversation, but I knocked the price down quite a bit and we both walked away fine.”
Klara B.
Private Buyer
“Listed my car the same evening I got the report. I think buyers are just tired of being lied to about history at this point — having an actual PDF to send them changes the conversation completely.”
Jonas R.
Private Seller
“What I like is there's no pretending. You pay, you get what's in the manufacturer's records, that's it. No 'premium tier', no upsell modal three days later asking if I want to upgrade. Just the data.”
Marco P.
Used-Car Enthusiast
“My partner was ready to put a deposit down before going to see the car. I told him to wait and we ran the VIN — the mileage at the last recorded service didn't line up with the odometer in the listing photos. Saved us a really long Sunday.”
Hannah K.
Private Buyer
“I'm not the kind of person who normally reads service reports, but this one was clean enough that I actually understood what I was looking at. Low bar maybe, but it mattered to me.”
Mateusz W.
Private Buyer
“Got the email before I'd finished my coffee. Visit log was there, mileage was there, decided the car wasn't right for me and moved on. Cheap way to settle a question that would otherwise have nagged at me for weeks.”
Liam O.
Private Buyer
“My old hatchback wasn't worth a fortune, but having the dealer history written out helped me list it confidently and stop feeling like I was hiding something from buyers. Sold within a week, nobody haggled on history.”
