This would also annoying the fuck of of me.
Remember driving hours to help a mate see a crv, full Honda history apparently. There's a thing that needs done on them, has asked on the phone and they said it had come straight from dealer, everything done, don't worry he knows the guy...Turned up. It's the usual book of stamps and not a single slice of paper demonstrating what they all mean.
Fair enough if it's a 500£ focus 1.4, but when you are asking serious money for something I expect to see a receipt for everything.

I just called the place selling the 52k mile M5 Touring:
Me - Hi, could you talk me through the maintenance history of the car please - things like the clutch, brakes, VANOS system?
Salesman - It's got all the stamps in the book
Me - I'm sorry?
Salesman - That's all I've got, the service book and the stamps in it
Me - So no details of what work the car has had over the past ten years?
Salesman - You can call the BMW garages it's been to?
Me - Thanks
They've got it up for 27k, with absolutely no information other than it's had it's oil/filters/plugs changed on schedule
