Vehicle Data

VEHICLE

The build record as the factory holds it — chassis number, the date the car was handed over, the model code it was built to, and when the next roadworthiness and exhaust-emissions checks fall due.

Anatomy of an Invoice

INVOICE

One workshop visit in full — the filter tabs that split the record by warranty, scheduled maintenance, service book and complaints, then the acceptance date, odometer, order and invoice numbers, and every work position with its part number, description and package code.

Workshop History

HISTORY

Each visit in turn, in the order the dealer network recorded it — acceptance date, odometer at the time, order reference, and the parts fitted or work carried out at every one.

Service Book Entries

SERVICE

The electronic service book as the dealer stamped it — which inspection was performed, whether it ran to the flexible or fixed interval, the additional work agreed on the day, and the workshop's own notes.

Earliest Records

EARLY

The record running back to the car's first workshop visits, where the earliest part numbers establish what it actually left the factory with — the baseline every later replacement is measured against.

A complete workshop record

Every section comes from a real VAG workshop record — an Audi delivered in May 2020, with dealer invoices and service-book entries itemised down to individual part numbers.
