Hi, I'm looking at a 67 plate (Jan 2018 registration) 300 manual with 37k miles on it. What would the correct service history look like if it had a full service history?

Dealer says it was sold by an Arnold Clark to the previous owner so he thinks some might have been done 'privately'. I think it's missing services and he's trying to talk around it but need to know what full history would look like to be sure.

Thanks

37,000 isn’t that high to be honest. Check what was done at each service. Should alternate between minor and major every year I’d say. Have a look here: http://www.cupra280.co.uk/Service Schedule.html
Thanks for the link, seems to back up what the maintenance pdf says. Do you know if the oil is on the flexible servicing thing? so 18.6k miles/2 years whichever is soonest

The main one I think could be missing is the vaq front diff, it should have been done in jan 2021 and is due again now. Is it really bad if that's just never been changed or is it likely to not matter if the car has only done 37k?

I appreciate you might not know the answers to my questions but any info is very much apprecitated cheers mate

I think the haldex is every 3 years. My car never had one until last year at 8 years old and 104.5k miles… 😂 similar with the DSG service too. Luckily my front diff n gearbox weren’t bad, despite not being serviced ever before I did em!

Ah right, that's reassuring thanks 😂
