Well, not that difficult.
Say your newish car was involved in an accident serious enough to get the law involved. All they have to do is check the damaged cars mileage, check when it was last serviced (easily on line from the manufacturer's data base) and then deduce if the servicing was up to date (all OK your honour) or, because the owner was completing the services himself it was overdue, therefore technically not safe to drive. Insurance companies would not need much more info to refuse the claim on "safety inspections and service out of date therefore claim denied" Of course the kicker would be if they found the installation of non genuine parts.
This scenario could be enacted by the insurance companies before they write out the policy "mileage of the car sir - one moment while I check with the manufacturer' database to verify"
