We deliberately focus on service history because specialisation allows us to access data sources that general providers can't. For the following checks, we recommend dedicated providers like HPI or Experian.
We connect directly to Original Equipment manufacturer service systems, not just generic databases.
Access service records from franchised dealer networks that general check providers miss entirely.
We'd rather give you comprehensive service history than superficial coverage of everything.

When buying a used car in the UK, most buyers are familiar with HPI checks and similar vehicle history services. These comprehensive checks cover finance agreements, insurance write-offs, stolen status, and previous keeper information. However, what many buyers don't realise is that these general vehicle checks often provide limited or incomplete service history information. That's where ServiceStamp fills an important gap in the market.
ServiceStamp is a dedicated service history specialist that focuses exclusively on verifying vehicle maintenance records. Unlike HPI-style providers that aggregate data from multiple sources, we connect directly to Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer service systems and franchised dealer networks. This gives us access to service records that simply aren't available through generic vehicle check services—including detailed maintenance logs, parts fitted, and work carried out at main dealer workshops.
A vehicle's service history directly impacts its value, reliability, and resale potential. Research shows that cars with full service history (FSH) can command 10-20% higher prices than equivalent vehicles with incomplete records. For premium brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, the difference can be even more significant. Yet many buyers rely solely on paper service books, which can be easily forged, lost, or incomplete.
ServiceStamp provides independent verification by accessing digital service records stored in manufacturer systems. This means we can confirm whether a vehicle was genuinely serviced at authorised dealers, verify mileage readings at each service, and identify any gaps in the maintenance schedule. For sellers, a ServiceStamp report provides credible proof of service history that helps maximise your vehicle's value.
We recommend using ServiceStamp alongside—not instead of—a traditional HPI or Experian check. While those services protect you against finance, theft, and write-off issues, ServiceStamp protects you against service history fraud and gives you confidence in the vehicle's maintenance record. Together, they provide complete peace of mind when buying or selling a used car.
If you're buying a used car, we recommend getting both a ServiceStamp check and an HPI-style check. ServiceStamp verifies service history and maintenance records from manufacturer sources. HPI checks cover finance, write-offs, and stolen status. Together, they give you complete peace of mind.
We believe in specialisation. By focusing exclusively on service history, we can access deeper data sources—including original manufacturer and dealer records—that general check providers simply don't have. For finance and write-off checks, dedicated providers like HPI or Experian have established relationships with finance houses and insurers.
Most vehicle check providers pull service data from generic databases that only capture a fraction of service records. ServiceStamp accesses Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer service systems and dealer networks directly, revealing service history that other checks miss—especially for vehicles serviced at franchised dealers.
Absolutely. This is one of our most popular use cases. We can recover service records from manufacturer and dealer systems even when physical service books have been lost. This helps prove full service history when selling your vehicle.
