I have purchased about 20 P cars as a dealer.
The experience in recreating the service history on these cars is mixed.
Sometimes, you get lucky in that the car was serviced at one dealer since new and that dealer will cooperate. Sometimes it is several who will.
Sometimes, the seller has the invoices.
Now, this just tells you service performed.
Certain things may be withheld also so if the guy went through 4 clutches, don't expect HIM to tell you that.
Re: accidents. The only way to know for sure is:
1-Use a paint meter.
2-Have an expert go under the car.
Otherwise, there is always a chance a repair was done well and you can't spot it with the eye as you look at the paint.
Such is the life of a used car buyer!
