Hi Simple R. I’ve recently found the in the service history that my car had its PDI by Paragon. It was sold to me as a private owner car but now I’m worried it’s actually a fleet car/ JLR management car. Are you able to check for me?

Hi, it might of been a private owner as in a lease car, company car etc to an individual. Yeah PM me a reg and I'll have a look.

BTW all history checks now come with a free note to say "your car is fitted with a petrol filler cap holder". I'm petitioning Jaguar to add it as a feature on Topix :lol:

Thanks for quick reply. Much appreciated. I’m new to the forum so it’s not allowing me to PM anyone? Or have I misunderstood?

I have personally owned numerous prestige cars on lease/contract hire over the years and the servicing tended to be carried out by a main dealer regardless of cost.

With this in mind I wouldn’t necessarily be put of by ex fleet cars etc. A vehicles full service history is much more transparent and easily accessible nowadays.

Hope this helps... 😉

You cannot create/send a PM until you've made 5 posts. I've PM'ed you and you should be able to reply I think/hope.

i'm on my second JLR management car (first was a 2010 XKR) and they were both fine and low mileage (managers live near work and are too busy to have time to drive far!). Different story if they've been used as demonstrators for press days, etc, of course.

Normal giveaway on a fleet car is the first 2 letters of the plate, OV, OU, OY (few others but they are the most common) are part of the fleet.
Text beneath the plate normally saying “Jaguar cars”
