Volvo Service History: Why It Matters

If you're thinking about buying a Volvo, checking its service history is essential. This tells you if the car has been well maintained or potentially neglected. A full service history means the car received regular maintenance like oil changes, brake checks, and fluid top-ups—all the things that keep it running smoothly.

Many volvo models come with online service records, so you can verify if it was serviced at an official volvo dealership or a trusted garage. If the service history is missing or incomplete, it could mean the car wasn't maintained properly, which might lead to costly repairs later.

How to Check a Volvo's Service History

Checking a volvo's service history is straightforward. Start by looking at the service book or digital service records. Many newer volvo cars store this information online, so you can check through the manufacturer's official website or by asking the previous owner for records. You can also use our free service history check by entering your volvo's registration above.
