When purchasing a second hand car in the UK get the sevice book verified from the garage that allegedly serviced the vehicle

Does a car (Same year) with 30,000 miles on the clock have the same value as one with 60,000? Yes if you are given a fake service history book. A dishonest seller can buy a false Service book on the Internet for fifty pounds and get more than two thousand pounds extra on a three year old VW after winding the clock back. If they object to you taking the car to the dealer whose stamp appears in the service history book that they show you - you know that you are a potential victim of a scam and however good the car looks, walk away and report the incident to your nearest police station.
