Full Honda main dealer service history is crucial for resale value, warranty validity, and buyer confidence. Vehicles with complete official service records typically sell for more.

Honda offers a Digital Service Record via the My Honda+ app (see honda.co.uk/cars/owners/digital-service-record), but it's only available for connected vehicles from 2020/2022 onwards (Honda e, Jazz Hybrid, e:Ny1, CR-V e:PHEV, HR-V Hybrid). For older Hondas, you can email Honda UK through their help page to get basic service details (dates and mileages) for dealer-serviced vehicles.
