I've lost my car's service book - what can I do?

I have lost all the documents relating to my Ford Mondeo following a house move. It was built in 2009 and I’ve had it for eight months. I tried to contact the garage that sold it but they have no records. I tried to contact Ford but they said they have no central database and are very unhelpful. What is the best I can do now?

Unless you can piece together the service history from invoices or garage records there isn't anything you can do. There will be a DVLA record of recorded mileages at MoTs.

I'm buying a used car. The dealer has the V5C certificate in the name of the previous owner and not in the name of the dealer. Is this correct? Should the dealer not be the registered keeper of the vehicle?
