Cupra Service History

[James Hindley]

Is there a way to view a cars (Formentor in my case) service history without going to the main dealer???

I don’t think so.

I don’t think so.

That’s poor, especially if you’re thinking of selling in the future ??

You don't necessarily need to go to a main dealer. My local VW/Audi/Skoda/SEAT garage is able to update the 'online' service record.
However I have purchased a generic service book, (ebay) and when my Formentor decides it needs a service I will also be asking the garage to record the work completed... I hope this will help when I sell it!

Seems a bit ‘pants’….

If you’re thinking of selling, you can ask the Cupra dealer for a print out of the service history - assuming it’s been serviced by Cupra (or Seat?) or an independent who has access to VAG online service records. I don’t know how comprehensive the print out is though.

With VW, owners used to be able to check the service / repair history of their own vehicle via the ‘My VW’ app (I may be wrong but I don’t think they can now). However, the information was very limited - e.g. ‘service event’, repair event’ with no details of what work these ‘events’ entailed - so IMHO it was of little or no value.

IMHO there’s no substitute for keeping all invoices for any servicing / repairs carried out, especially if you’re considering selling privately as it’s evidence to any prospective buyer the car has been well maintained, and invoices are likely to provide more detail than any service history print out from a Cupra (or Seat/VW/Audi/Skoda) dealer.
