I didn't get any service history with mine, but the car started life at Dane Audi Chester and I bought it exactly 13 years after the first date of registration from Kent and took it to Bognor, then moved it back up here. Think I'm its 6th owner.

My S4 was bought new from Bristol Audi, got traded in for a Range Rover Sport in Bristol and I purchased it from East Kent Audi and took it back to within 20miles of Bristol as 2nd owner.

Talk about going round in circles....

my car, A6 2.0 is 1 owner before me, bought new in 1995 by a bloke in his late forties. stayed in lancs, preston, for 14 years then i bought it! he only pootled about mind. it had only done 23k after the 14 years he had it.

it even had the orgional borchure in the boot, full service history, all the books. even his invoice for £23487 when he bought it new. he had a touch up kit (origional audi ofcourse!) he has really looked after it. garaged every night aparently.

minter lol

oh and EDIT the service history being full, he didnt do it every 10k, theres a stamp from an audi dealer every 2k miles or one year! 15 stamps in it!, i got it serviced and did the cambelt and tensioner when i bought it. the tensioner had gone stiff! they normally work looser with age but this one froze up with lack of use! hahaha Laughing

My coupe was 1st registered on 10/04/90 at Cooks Audi in Peterborough and stayed with its 1st owner in the area until i bought it in 2005 with full Audi service history and 107k on the clock. it was serviced in the 1st few weeks of January every year without fail. Very Happy

the only issue with the car when i bought it was the faded tornado pink paintwork! Laughing
