How many CarProof 'Service Records' are too many?
« on: March 22, 2018, 02:13:14 pm »
CarProof report says that from 2012 - 2018 there are 27 Service Records.

Most look to be about 3k kms apart (perhaps oil changes)?

But there are several times when service reports are only a few days and a few hundred kms apart. Its a Volvo with less than 90k kms.

Thoughts?

only way to make sense of this is to attend a Volvo dealer and ask/pay for the info.

To me the number of service entries are not a problem.  Registered accident claims are.

These scams are normal i had a plan of buying a second hand car, the previous car owner said me that the car is completely new, it had not gone through any type of servicing after visiting the dealer of the car I found out that it had gone through 5 servicing and it was once dented due to some accident.

Download Carfax's Car Care app, enter the VIN, and you can see some comments about each of the service records.

Sounds about right for a Volvo. These ain't your fathers red block.
