Service History...........
My car an 05 reg, never bothered having it serviced, always been well maintained etc.
Anyway I spoke to a dealer with regards to trading it in for a bigger 03 model, the dealer said becuase it has no service history it would be hard to sell on
Is this true or just dealer talk?

Servicing a vehicle regularly is a sign that it has been looked after and a bit of reassurance to the buyer that it will be reliable. If it's a popular make, no buyer in their right mind would choose a car which has no service history over one that hasn't. How many miles have you done since you bought it?

' never bothered having it serviced, always been well maintained etc. '
no service = no service history ! i wouldnt fancy buying 5 year old car without any
..the whole point of a service history is to show its been looked after and had the recomended filter changes and checks (ie tyres/pads/levels etc)
Do you have a service book of any description ? it would have had one from new showing vehicle details ,security codes, warranty start date ,1st service...etc.
