How to Verify a Peugeot Service History (UK 2026 Guide)
How to verify a UK Peugeot service history — Stellantis records, GT/GTi performance variants, PureTech 3-cylinder concerns, HDi diesel cambelt evidence.
Quick answer: Peugeot is part of Stellantis (since 2021), formerly PSA Group. Modern Peugeots use the Stellantis service network. Older PSA-era cars are also recorded in compatible systems. Cross-reference paper service book against the dealer printout.
Peugeot verification in the UK relies on a combination of dealer-side records, paper service books, and brand-specific service items. The biggest fraud risk on Peugeots is the same as any mainstream brand — fabricated service stamps and missed major services. Spot them with cross-referenced MOT mileage, invoice verification, and dealer record checks.
Stellantis Service Records — the service record system
Stellantis Service Records is Peugeot's service record. Peugeot main dealers can pull a print for £15-£30. Cross-reference with the paper service book at viewing.
