For my £0.02 worth, think of it this way - the reason the lower mileage car has the partial history is probably because the owner thought they didn't have to service it as often because they were barely driving it.
The car with the higher miles that was serviced every year was probably owned by someone who really loved that car, and despite the minor difference in mileage, loved it enough to spend what it cost to maintain it properly despite putting granny-miles on it.
These are serious cars, and serious owners understand what goes into keeping them at their best.
Service history vs miles
Buy the one with the specification you want. Low mileage isn’t always a good thing as things start to seize or perish, or has it spent its life being driven around town never getting up to temperature?

Toss a coin. If, when the coin lands, you say to yourself, "I wish it had landed the other way up", you'll know what you really want .

What is "really low miles"? Needs quantifying with a model year.Jonypro wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 8:19 am Hi,
What are peoples views on service history vs miles
Debating over a couple of f type one has really low miles but part service history and the other has 12k more on the clock but same price with full service history
Which would affect value more on resale?
Thanks
Jonny
I currently run/own seven vehicles (and that number changes regularly). When purchasing or selling,100% Service history with low mileage is the best combination generally.
That, combined with condition on top and underneath gives you some measure of care, not to mention Number of owners, trade, private etc etc.
