Does this service history / mileage look correct?

[gareth h]

Chaps some advice please, I’m helping my son buy a new van / surf bus, the dealer has just forwarded the history from the lease company, there are lots of parking offences all with different dates but the same mileage, it also appears to have had rather a lot of tyres, should I be concerned?

[Monkeylegend]

Yes.

The hirer is a Private Parking Companys dream, and all those admin fees. Cheaper than paying for parking?

I'd guess it looks fairly standard for a lease van. Looks like the first user was based out of Edinburgh and then second user somewhere in Yorkshire/North East. Bear in mind that the servicing will have been fairly minimal as it's been done by fast fit places rather than the dealer - fairly common for lease vans and cars these days though.

The set of tyres at 25999 miles seems a bit dodgy, though more likely that garage ripped off the lease company or someone has swapped some tyres over from their mate's van rather than them doing burnouts on Whitley Bay seafront.

I would guess that the parking tickets have the same mileages because that's what the mileage was when the ticket was processed by the leasing company, but the date would be the date of the ticket.

Thanks chaps, takes me back to the days of company fuel cards and a gallon can in the boot

I interpret that as being that the wheels & tyres were inspected, not that the tyres were replaced. Otherwise it would say 'tyres'.

Indeed. Back when people used to work in offices ( ) the Kwik-Fit van would come down and check all the company cars and replace any that met the requirements for new tyres (ie. as bald as Duncan Goodhew (one for the teenagers)).

For reference PUN stands for puncture rather than WRN for worn. Each visit may only be for one tyre but may be costed as tyre, wheel balance and disposal as 3 job lines.

Thank you, all very helpful
