Free Vehicle Service Record Template (UK) — PDF & Excel

A clean running record of every service, repair and MOT — the paperwork that protects your car's value when you sell.

Free Vehicle Service Record Template (UK) — PDF & Excel

No law says you must keep a service book for your own car — but a complete, verifiable history typically adds 5–15% to what a buyer will pay. If your service book is lost (or the car never had one), this template rebuilds the record.

What's in the template

  • Vehicle details block (reg, VIN, first registered)
  • Service & maintenance log — date, mileage, work done, garage, invoice reference
  • MOT record — results, advisories, certificate numbers

How to use it

Staple invoices behind the sheet and cross-check your mileage entries against the free MOT history service on gov.uk — that's exactly what a smart buyer will do. See also: full vs partial service history and spotting fake service stamps.
