Skoda Service History Check

Yes, since around 2012, Skoda 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.

Skoda recommends every 12 months or 10,000 miles (fixed) / up to 18,000 miles (flexible). Always follow the service indicator or manufacturer's guidelines in your owner's manual.

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

No, only services performed at authorized Skoda 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 Skoda main dealer service history is crucial for resale value, warranty validity, and buyer confidence. Vehicles with complete official service records typically sell for more.

Skoda stores service records digitally in the VAG group database. You can access records via erWin (erwin.skoda-auto.com) for a small fee (around £8 for 1 hour access), or request a free printout from any Skoda dealer when your car is serviced. The MySkoda app (see skoda.co.uk/owners/myskoda-app) creates digital certificates but doesn't show full service history for all vehicles. If you're buying a used Skoda or need instant verification, ServiceStamp provides complete dealer service history from 2012 onwards for £9.99.
