Buying a used car in the UK comes with many uncertainties. You might check MOT records, outstanding finance, mileage irregularities, write-offs and more but one crucial area that has often been less transparent is the service history. Which garages serviced the vehicle? Were the manufacturer’s intervals respected? Were genuine parts used?
At The Auto Experts, we are proud to launch our OEM-Verified Service History Check, bringing official manufacturer-verified maintenance data into one simple report. This gives you far greater confidence when buying, selling or trading a used vehicle.

What does “OEM-verified service history” mean?
“OEM” stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer in other words, the vehicle manufacturer itself (or an authorized dealer network). An OEM-verified service history means your report includes maintenance records pulled directly from manufacturer or main-dealer systems, rather than relying on third-party garage stamps or paper booklets alone.
In practice this means:
- Service dates and mileage checks as recorded by the manufacturer or authorized network.
- Details of where the service was carried out (e.g., main dealer or authorized workshop).
- Confirmation that genuine manufacturer parts or servicing protocols were used.
- Clear identification of any gaps, missed service intervals or non-authorized servicing.
- A seamless integration with your vehicle history report so you see the big picture.
By providing this level of transparency, The Auto Experts helps you move from guesswork to facts when it comes to used car maintenance.
What makes our service history check truly OEM-verified?
Most vehicle history reports stop at MOT records, mileage logs or basic service stamps. What’s often missing is what really sets a car apart: verified manufacturer-level servicing data.
With The Auto Experts’ new report you get:
- Verified service and maintenance dates supplied by the vehicle’s manufacturer or authorized dealer network.
- Details of each service location (main dealer or authorized workshop).
- Recorded mileage at each service date to check consistency.
- Confirmation that genuine OEM parts and servicing protocols were used (where available).
- Clear flags for missing or irregular service entries so you know where to ask questions.
In short: you get full transparency, no quibbles about handwritten booklets, missing stamps or hidden servicing gaps.
Why this matters now for UK buyers and sellers
Better clarity = safer buying
A full service history gives you confidence that a vehicle has been looked after properly in line with Motor Ombudsman servicing standards.
Higher trust = stronger resale value
If you’re selling, being able to show manufacturer-verified servicing is a major trust builder. Many buyers are willing to pay more or engage more quickly when the maintenance story is rock solid.
Risk reduction
Hidden issues often come from skipped services or unverified work. Knowing when and where services were done, and with genuine parts, reduces your risk of picking up costly problems later.
