Have you seen the service book itself? The date of the first oil service doesn't make sense.
Hi, the dealer sent the images of the service book with the stamps and what was carried out. Why doesn't it make sense?
Thanks

Just because the computer wouldn't show it as being due on time for two years from registration, so around August 2008 - so why service it at three months old? Even if it was an early car which had been sat around and the service counter wasn't reset during the PDI, it couldn't show more than maybe January 2008 because it couldn't have been built much before Jan 2006, even as one of the earliest cars.

Thanks for you help both, really appreciate it.

Here's the image the dealer sent me of the log book first page -

Interesting - looks like the car was sold to a dealer only a few months after purchase and they just changed the oil as part of the used car check.

Knowing Hexagon pricing maybe it sat there for a year or two because they’d marked it up above list :lol:

In all seriousness, maybe it was kept by them as a demo car for a while ? Cheaper than having a new one used for that purpose...
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Very well deduced, and that's what I'm sticking with if someone asks! ;)

Thanks all for your input, really appreciate it! :thumbsup:
