Too many previous owners?

Herzlos

It's possible to hit that many owners but it's fairly rare. If it was a pre-reg then it'd be on owner 2 by the time it left the forecourt, combined with possibly swapping a car between family members (i.e. dad > kid1 > kid 2), or some finance reposessions.

But you've no real way of knowing, beyond maybe the service history giving clues as to where the work was done (if it's all the same garage it's likely fine, but if each service is somewhere else the cars moved around a lot).

If you're worried and it's not that special, just buy something else.

Im going to try and find out for sure about the number of owners as like I say not sure if I misread I'm confused how I can't seem to find the information again frustrating! Does anyone know if any of the site's do it for free?

I emailed the dealer this morning asking for more info as this should hopefully confirm the number of owner but they haven't replied ..mm not very good customer service. U don't expect an immediate response but I did email before 9am ....

Perhaps they don't think you'll like the answer.

Lol don't know how they expect to sell the car if they don't reply ...

If it's a small dealer they probably don't check email that much. You'll get a much quicker answer if you phone them, and you may be able to try and gauge how confident they sound about it.

To somebody who isn't going to stress about such a minor detail before even viewing the car?

Just phone the garage? Email isn't normally a priority for many places
