Mercedes-Benz Service History Check

Yes, since around 2012, Mercedes-Benz dealerships record all services digitally in the manufacturer's central database. These digital service records replace the traditional paper service book and can be retrieved instantly using your VIN.

Mercedes-Benz recommends a service: every 12 months or 10,000 miles | b service: every 24 months or 20,000 miles. Always follow the service indicator or manufacturer's guidelines in your owner's manual.

Reports show all services performed at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships including dates, mileage, work performed, service types, and dealership locations from 2012 onwards.

No, only services performed at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships are recorded in the manufacturer's database. Independent garage services will not appear.

Yes, you only need the 17-character VIN which can be found on the V5C document or visible through the windscreen. UK guide: check service history by registration.

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

Mercedes-Benz offers a free Digital Service Booklet (DSB) via the Mercedes me website (me.mercedes-benz.com). Vehicles from 2010 onwards have service history stored electronically. You can register and access your DSB online after completing a form on their website. You don't need a unique customer number for UK registration. However, independent garage services won't appear in the DSB. If you're buying a used Mercedes or need a quick verification without registration, ServiceStamp provides complete dealer service history from 2012 onwards for £9.99.
