Vehicle & Current Standing

STANDING

Who the car is and where it stands with the manufacturer right now — identification number, first registration, and the service that is next due by both date and mileage. Anything outstanding is measured against this line.

Manufacturer Specification Check

SPEC

The part of each record that answers to the manufacturer rather than the customer — what was replaced, what cover runs until the next visit, whether the manufacturer's own service intervals were complied with, and whether the additional work it specified was accomplished.

Checked at Every Visit

VISITS

The same two boxes on every visit, most recent first. Read down the column and the pattern is the answer — this car has had the manufacturer's additional work accomplished each time, while the interval box has gone unticked at visit after visit.

Earlier Visits

EARLY

The record running back to the car's first years. The earliest visits establish how long the pattern has held — a single unticked box on a recent service means little; the same box unticked since 2013 means something.

A complete compliance record

Every section comes from a real manufacturer dealer record — a 2011 E 220 CDI with eleven main-dealer visits, each carrying the manufacturer's own specification sign-off.

Vehicle & Current Standing

Who the car is and where it stands with the manufacturer right now — identification number, first registration, and the service that is next due by both date and mileage. Anything outstanding is measured against this line.
