Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if PDI checks are carried out at Portbury or would they always be done at the dealerships?
Looking at a used 500 for my daughter registered on 31/05/19 and the service book says PDI was done at Portbury on 12/06/19 then first service in Carlisle. Also it says it’s had one woman owner but there is a fiat leasing document on the system, however the salesperson has not mentioned this yet despite us asking the full history (I know it’s on the system because a different location of the dealership showed me). Just getting a little suspicious and I have returned a car after 4 months previously due to lying about its owner history (different manufacturer though!). Thanks

Hi

Had a fewmentions over time

SEARCH portbury on here ;)
 
Cheers, I did that but it only came up with stuff about cars being held at Portbury and PDI checks at dealerships (although that was before I registered). Will have another go ??
 
Most manufacturers now carry out the PDIs at their import centre. This helps ensure a consistent standard. Dealers just do a quick check and valet. This also means they can supply large fleet customers direct, without involving dealerships.

If the first 'user' 'bought' the car on a PCP or similar plan, Fiat Leasing is likely to show as the first owner, but the 'user' will be the name on the V5 as they would be the keeper.
