What a Vauxhall report can look like
Manufacturers don't all keep the same detail, so reports come in four shapes. We've opened the one you're most likely to get. Every entry below is made up; a real report lists the Vauxhall's own visits.

Vauxhall and its dealer records
Vauxhall is one of the UK's most popular brands with an enormous dealer network. The Corsa, Astra, Mokka, and Grandland are best-sellers. Vauxhall maintains comprehensive digital service records.
How Vauxhall's digital service record works
Vauxhall's service records sit on the Stellantis dealer management system (the same backbone that serves Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Fiat, Jeep and Alfa Romeo ). For older Vauxhalls (pre-2017, when Vauxhall was part of GM) records also exist on the legacy GM service system, which Stellantis migrated when it acquired the brand. Every franchised UK Vauxhall dealer visit is logged against the VIN with date, mileage, the service triggered (Vauxhall's annual Interim / Main / Major cycle), itemised line items (oil + filter, brake fluid, cambelt where applicable, pollen filter, plugs), the dealer code, and free-text remarks.
Coverage is reliably digital from approximately 2004 onwards, with strong continuity through the GM → PSA → Stellantis ownership transitions. The myVauxhall app shows recent services on newer cars but is not the full dealer record. Vauxhall UK retains records even when a dealer changes ownership or closes.
Where to find your Vauxhall service history
A car's history is usually spread across a few places, and it is worth checking each one.
- Vauxhall's dealer system. Every franchised Vauxhall workshop logs its visits against the car's VIN. A Vauxhall dealer will usually print them for the owner; anyone else, a buyer included, can use the check on this page.
- The Vauxhall owner app, where there is one. Newer cars linked to an owner's account may show recent services there, but only to that account holder.
- The paper service book. Stamps from dealers and independent garages alike. If it has been lost, a replacement from the manufacturer arrives blank.
- Independent garage invoices. Work done outside the dealer network only exists on paper, so ask the seller for the folder.
Servicing a Vauxhall: intervals and models
Vauxhall service intervals
Vauxhall has no single interval — it varies by era and engine. GM-era petrol models commonly ran 12 months or 32,200 km (some early Astras on a 2-year ecoFLEX flexible schedule), several diesels considerably shorter, and Stellantis-era cars such as the Corsa F, Mokka B and Astra L follow PSA schedules. Check the handbook for the model year.
Intervals vary by engine, model year and schedule type — check the car's own handbook or service plan for the figure that applies to it.
Vauxhall models we cover
Full UK Vauxhall range is covered across both GM and Stellantis eras: Corsa (D/E/F), Adam, Astra (H/J/K/L) hatch / sports tourer / GTC, Insignia (A/B), Mokka (A/B inc. Mokka-e), Grandland (X / new), Crossland (X), Antara, Zafira (B/C/Tourer / Life), Meriva (A/B), Cascada, VXR8, GTC, plus commercials: Combo (D/E), Vivaro (B/C inc. -e), Movano (B/C), Astravan. The new electric Mokka-e, Corsa-e, Combo-e Life and Vivaro-e are covered. Pre-2004 Astra G, Vectra B and Omega may have partial digital records — older legacy GM records may be retrievable but coverage thins quickly before 2000.
Things to watch when buying a used Vauxhall
Three Vauxhall-specific things to know: First, the ownership transitions matter for record retrieval — Vauxhall was a General Motors brand until 2017, then PSA, now Stellantis. The records persist across all these transitions (Stellantis pulled GM's database in), but very rarely there can be a 1-2 year gap in 2016-2017 for cars whose supplying dealer didn't migrate cleanly. Second, the 1.4 turbo petrol (in Corsa, Astra, Mokka 2010-2018) and 1.6 CDTi diesel had specific timing-chain and turbo issues respectively; verifiable oil-service intervals are the best mitigation.
Third, the manual gearbox on older Astras and Corsas (M32 6-speed manual, found in many 1.6/1.7/2.0 diesel and turbo petrol Vauxhalls 2007-2015) has bearing failure issues — dealer service records sometimes include a gearbox oil change as a precautionary measure, which is worth verifying.
Why check Vauxhall service history before buying
Vauxhall resale on the Corsa and Astra is volume-driven and highly sensitive to documented FSH — these are among the most-traded used cars. FSH typically adds 7-12% to trade-in value over partial-history equivalents. For diesels (1.6 CDTi, 1.7 CDTi) verify DPF entries appear in records. The M32 gearbox bearing issue affects many high-mileage manuals; precautionary gearbox-oil entries in records are reassuring.
For Mokka-e, Corsa-e and Vivaro-e EVs verify battery health checks and software updates appear. Older Astra VXR and Insignia VXR (now Astra GSi / Insignia GSi) buyers should look for documented oil-service strictness given the higher engine output.

FAQ
Common questions about Vauxhall service history
How do I check Vauxhall service history online?
Type the car's VIN into the form on this page. We ask Vauxhall's dealer system for every visit logged against that car and show them in date order, usually within a few minutes. It costs €12.99, and the card is only charged if records come back.
How complete is Vauxhall coverage?
Vauxhall sits in our Full Service History tier. Itemised dealer records: the date of each franchised visit, the odometer reading, what was done and which dealer did it.
Where is a Vauxhall's service record kept?
Vauxhall's service records sit on the Stellantis dealer management system (the same backbone that serves Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Fiat, Jeep and Alfa Romeo ).
What will I see on a Vauxhall report?
Each visit a franchised Vauxhall workshop logged against the car, listed by date: the odometer reading, the work carried out and the dealer who did it. Recall and warranty visits appear alongside routine servicing.
Why might a Vauxhall with a stamped service book show no records?
Usually because the servicing was done at independent garages, which don't write to Vauxhall's system, or because it was done before the dealer network kept digital records. A book full of independent stamps can be perfectly genuine; it just has to be backed by the paperwork rather than by the dealer system. If we find nothing, your card isn't charged.
Do I need the owner's permission to check a Vauxhall?
No. The VIN is all we need: no log-in, no ownership documents and no contact with the seller. That's why people use it before they buy, to compare what the seller says with what Vauxhall's dealers recorded.
How do I tell whether a Vauxhall was serviced on time?
Put the dates and readings side by side and look at the spacing. Vauxhall has no single interval — it varies by era and engine. Intervals differ by engine and model year, so the handbook has the exact figure for a given car. A gap much longer than the schedule is worth asking the seller about: it may have been an independent service with an invoice in the folder, or it may have been missed.
Is there a free way to see Vauxhall service history?
Sometimes, if you are the keeper. A Vauxhall dealer will often print the history at the service desk if you bring the car's documents, and some Vauxhall owner apps show recent visits for the car linked to your account. Neither helps a buyer looking at someone else's car, and we know of no public Vauxhall website that shows the whole record. Our €12.99 check needs only the VIN, and the card is only charged if records are found.
Does Vauxhall keep digital service records?
Yes. Vauxhall maintains comprehensive digital service records across all UK franchised dealerships through the Stellantis dealer system. Records persist from the GM ownership era and continue under Stellantis.
Can I check Vauxhall service history by registration?
Yes. Enter your Vauxhall registration number to retrieve the complete official service history from the manufacturer database, including franchised dealer visits, recall work, and warranty repairs.
What Vauxhall models are covered?
All Vauxhall models are covered, including Corsa (D/E/F), Astra (H/J/K/L), Insignia, Mokka (inc. Mokka-e), Grandland, Crossland, Zafira / Zafira Life, plus commercials Combo, Vivaro (inc. -e) and Movano.
Did the GM-to-Stellantis ownership change affect records?
No, but it's worth knowing. Vauxhall transitioned from GM (pre-2017) to PSA (2017-2021) to Stellantis (2021-present). Records persist across all transitions because the dealer-system database was migrated. Very rarely a 2016-2017 dealer migration left small gaps for individual cars.
Does the myVauxhall app show all dealer records?
No. The myVauxhall app shows recent services on newer cars. Older entries, recall work, and warranty repairs often only appear via a dealer-system lookup. The dealer record is the authoritative source.
Are records reliable for pre-2010 Vauxhalls?
Yes, generally. Astra H (2004-2009), Corsa D, Vectra C and Zafira B have consistent digital coverage from 2004 onwards. Pre-2004 (Astra G, Vectra B, Omega, Frontera) may have partial records depending on supplying dealer.
What about the M32 gearbox issue?
The M32 6-speed manual gearbox (used in many 1.6/1.7/2.0 turbo and CDTi Vauxhalls 2007-2015) has a known bearing failure issue at high mileage. Some dealers performed precautionary gearbox-oil changes — these appear in the service record. Their presence is a positive sign for engine longevity.
How does service history affect Vauxhall resale?
Vauxhall resale (particularly Corsa and Astra) is highly sensitive to documented FSH. Full Service History typically adds 7-12% to trade-in value over partial-history equivalents. For the higher-end Insignia and Grandland, dealer history is even more important to private and trade buyers.
How to read a Vauxhall service history
A list of dealer visits only helps if you know what to look for. Three checks cover most of what goes wrong with a used Vauxhall's paperwork.
Line the visits up against the schedule
Look at the spacing between visits rather than the number of them. Visits roughly a schedule apart point to a car that was looked after. A long gap is a question for the seller, not a verdict, because the service may well have been done at an independent garage.
Make sure the odometer only goes up
Each visit records the reading on the day. A figure that falls back between one visit and the next is worth questioning before anything else.
Ask about the years the dealer didn't see
Dealer records stop once a car leaves the franchised network. For those years, ask for the invoices from the garage that did the work and check that the dates and readings on them fit with the rest of the history.
