The thing with no history is you don't know what state the engine is in. You have no idea when certain consumables were last changed, timing belts etc.

You can be safe to say that just about any diesel car will have a decent engine in it. It's not like you can do a lot with a service history, they don't stop the car from breaking down.

No, but any long term faults with the car that havn't been mentioned will be forgottten when the car changes hands. A service history shows that the car has being looked after.

The service history will just show it's had it's oil changed every year.

Not sure, maybe if you gave them the cars details. Subaru wouldn't give me an additional one.

Get them to have an appropriate service now and if it clears that OK then go for it?

Mine has a chart that references all the parts replaced, belts, plugs etc.

a well running engine is more of a selling point to me than a service history

I couldnt care less about service history, means nothing..

Would look at the condition a car is in before anything.
