How to check Land Rover and Range Rover service history online
Land Rover keeps an Online Service History for vehicles built from 1 July 2013 that have been seen at an Approved Service Centre, and anyone with the car’s 17-digit VIN can look it up on Land Rover’s own site. That makes it one of the easier manufacturer records to check, including Range Rover, Discovery and Defender models. Work done outside Land Rover’s network is the part it won’t show.

Look up the Online Service History by VIN
Land Rover says service history is available online for all vehicles built from 1 July 2013 that have been seen at an Approved Service Centre. Its lookup asks for the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is visible through the windscreen and printed on the V5C.
Note each entry’s date and mileage, and compare them with the invoices you hold and with the car’s MOT history.
What the online record won’t show
The Online Service History covers visits to Land Rover’s Approved Service Centres. Servicing at an independent specialist, which is common once a Land Rover is out of warranty, is unlikely to appear. Ask each independent garage for a copy of its invoice, with the date, mileage and work carried out.
A vehicle built before 1 July 2013 falls outside the online record, so its history comes from the service book, invoices and the retailers and garages that did the work.
Ask the retailer about missing entries
If you expect a dealer visit that isn’t on the online record, contact that retailer’s service department with the registration, VIN and approximate date. Ask whether the visit was recorded and whether they can provide a copy of the invoice.
Buying a used Land Rover or Range Rover
Because the lookup only needs the VIN, you can check the Online Service History yourself before viewing, rather than relying on the seller’s printout. Then ask the seller for invoices covering any independent servicing and any gaps.
Compare the dates and mileages with the MOT history. MOT readings cross-check the mileage; they don’t show that a service happened.
Keep your Land Rover service history together
Upload invoices, service book pages or a dealer printout as photos or PDFs — whatever paperwork you have. Review the details, save a dated record and ask the garage to confirm its work. Sign in and confirm ownership first; claims are reviewed.
An uploaded invoice is marked Invoice attached. Garage confirmed means the garage has separately confirmed the work. CarKept does not retrieve private manufacturer records automatically.
