Do you not have the possibility to ask the previous owner about the vehicles history

He seems desperate to sell, go back in a few days and beat the price down. In the mean time check with LR about the servicing..I am assuming you know the reg number At work

I guess it depends on how long Dave intends to keep the car, keep it a few years and missing service history becomes less important esp if he collects a few service stamps in that time. At work

Thanks for your replies. I fear contacting the previous owner as Andy suggested as it seems to smell of repossesion, given the current climate I would not be surprised.

I would not touch that car as you will have problems when trying to sell and claiming under warranty.Do not believe a word that Land Rover says about warranty claims as they will not honour it if it has not been serviced.Try and contact the previous owner if you really want to buy it-I am sure he will not mind.It all sounds a bit dodgy to me because if I was a dealer who had bought the car I would be trying to find any previous history and would try to contact the previous owner.It is much easier for someone in the trade to get service information from dealers as opposed to the man in the street.I once bought a BMW and rang the local dealer where I knew the car had been serviced to get some previous history.They told me they had no record of it.So I asked a friend in the trade and he got me a computer print out from the dealer for 5 years of servicing.

Agreed dont buy unless you can see a history, but the lack of a physical book in the glove box isnt a reason to avoid.

I'd probably give it a miss Dave too. Unfortunately LR do not have a shared system that displays service history, however with the reg number I can tell you where it has been for warranty and recall work. PM me if you'd like me to do this for you?

CG, if they are finance repossesions then I wonder it that could constitute criminal damage as technically the finance company owns it. James |

There not much difference between a SE and HSE, if your wanting leather you could do it aftermarket, stereo is just as good, but not 5.1 surround.
