I purchased a used jcw clubman with 30k from a non-mini dealership. I know the dealer it was originally sold/serviced at, but they said they can not release any records prior to my ownership. Does this sound right? Does anyone know if records are uploaded to a database and able to be accessed from other dealerships?

The car looks / runs awesome, but it sure would be nice to know what services have been performed.

thanks

 

If all else fails, ask that dealer to obtain from the previous owner authorization to share the service history with you.

 

I was in a similar situation. My local dealer was able to provide me with the records after cutting off the top of the page with the previous owner's personal info.
