The Digital Transition
Since around 2013, Audi has phased out traditional paper service booklets in favor of the Digital Service Plan (DSP) to ensure secure, tamper-proof maintenance records.

What can Audi service history by VIN include?
The scope of the report is specific to each VIN. Where data is available from the Digital Service Plan (DSP), the report may include:
- Available dates of inspections, LongLife services, and workshop visits.
- Mileage recorded during authorized service events.
- A chronological timeline of maintenance entries.
- Information about consumables, such as engine oil, S-Tronic/DSG transmission fluid, or brake fluid.
- Mentions of significant service operations like timing belt, Haldex maintenance, or spark plug replacements.
- Dealer or service center information, if recorded in the DSP.
The absence of entries in the report does not mean that the vehicle was not serviced.
How Audi Digital Service Plan (DSP) Works
Centralized VAG Database
All routine maintenance, LongLife services, and warranty repairs performed by authorized Audi dealers are logged directly into centralized manufacturer systems.
Independent Workshops
Independent garages and specialists with authorized access can also update the official Audi digital service record when performing approved maintenance.
When is it crucial to check Audi service history?
Buying a used Audi
Compare the digital DSP entries with the seller's claims. Physical paper logbooks can be easily forged, but central manufacturer databases cannot.
Importing a vehicle
Gain valuable insights into an Audi imported from another market (e.g., Germany). The central VAG database tracks authorized services across borders.
Verifying mileage consistency
Protect yourself against odometer rollbacks by checking chronological mileage readings recorded during routine LongLife services and dealer visits.

What affects data availability?
Service history data is not available for every Audi and can differ in scope. It depends in particular on:
- the VIN and the specific vehicle version,
- the production year (DSP was widely adopted around 2013),
- the market where the vehicle was originally sold and used,
- whether maintenance was performed by authorized VAG service centers,
- whether the dealer recorded detailed parts and LongLife entries in the central systems.
FAQ
Audi Service History by VIN – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I check Audi service history by VIN?
Yes, you can check if Digital Service Plan (DSP) data is available for your Audi VIN. The available scope depends on the vehicle, production year, market, and whether the service was recorded in official VAG databases.
What is the Audi Digital Service Plan (DSP)?
DSP (Digitaler Serviceplan) is the official electronic service record that replaced traditional paper logbooks around 2013. It securely stores the maintenance history on centralized manufacturer servers to prevent tampering.
Does the report include Audi mileage records?
Yes, if the mileage was recorded during an authorized service visit or LongLife inspection, it will be included in the report, helping you verify the authenticity of the odometer reading.
Will it show specific maintenance like S-Tronic or timing belt changes?
If the authorized dealer or workshop recorded these specific operations (e.g., DSG/S-Tronic oil changes, Haldex maintenance, or timing belt replacements), they may appear in the report.
Does the report show every single service visit?
Not always. The report includes only the data logged into the official VAG systems. Maintenance performed at independent garages without DSP access will not appear in this report.
