HELP Interpreting A CARFAX Report
Ok, i saw an 01' Passat that i am interested in. I got a carfax report for a car i am interested in. and the results in the DETAILED VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT shows that it was serviced often at a service facility. Does this mean that the car had a lot of problems and needed to be taken in often to be corrected or is that just the owner taking it in for the regular maintenance. Here is a copy of the what the History Report looks like
07/25/2001 29 Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Dept. Feasterville Trevose, PA Title issued or updated First owner reported 09/29/2001 5,289 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 12/12/2001 10,408 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 02/21/2002 15,169 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 05/21/2002 20,222 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 08/20/2002 25,780 Service Facility Vehicle serviced Lubed oil and filter changed 11/12/2002 31,205 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 01/13/2003 35,823 Service Facility Vehicle serviced Lubed oil and filter changed 03/24/2003 39,233 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 07/22/2003 44,559 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 11/25/2003 50,198 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 02/28/2004 54,453 Service Facility Vehicle serviced 06/09/2004 59,016 Service Facility Vehicle serviced Air conditioning serviced 10/04/2004 65,304 Service Facility Vehicle serviced Lubed oil and filter changed 01/10/2005 70,364 Service Facility Vehicle serviced Lubed oil and filter changed Brakes serviced 02/17/2005 71,874 Service Facility Vehicle serviced |

Re: HELP Interpreting A CARFAX Report
that is roughly every 5,000 miles. My interpretation is that the dealer offered free oil change every 5,000 mile for free (with the owner hopefully having a change in between). That showing up wouldn't deter me from buying it.
