Volvo Service History Check

Yes, since around 2012, Volvo 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.

Volvo recommends every 12 months or 18,000 miles. Always follow the service indicator or manufacturer's guidelines in your owner's manual.

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

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

The Volvo Cars app (see volvocars.com/uk/support) shows your car's maintenance status and notifies you when service is needed. For basic service history (dealership, date, mileage, service type), contact your local Volvo dealer as all franchises send data to Volvo's central database. However, detailed work information requires contacting the specific dealership. Independent garage work won't appear in dealer records. If you're buying a used Volvo or need instant verification, ServiceStamp provides complete dealer service history from 2012 onwards for £9.99.
