The 18 month old Fabia we bought 2 years ago did not come with a service book but when the car had its 2 years and 3 year services the dealer provided an updated maintenance record print off that shows all the info a service book would. The invoice like and other car we have owned shows the parts, materials and work carried out.
Having been used to a service book with all our previous cars I was a little sceptical about their initial explanation of the system but I can see now its far better than a forged record on a e-bay sourced book. All info is held centrally by Skoda.
But as always if you service out of the dealer network they would have no info.
Bottom line is never buy a car without seeing vital info beforehand, we were shown the maintenance record before we bought it (done by the selling dealer). Asking later is pointless.
What does the service schedule say regarding spark plug changes? It should be easy enough to find online. Pretty sure it won’t be every 12 months, so it’s possible they were due this time and the dealership last year jumped the gun. Any Škoda service department should be able to supply you with a service book.
4 years/40000 miles for plugs.

We asked, they wanted a tenner. Didn't bother since all the info is on the sheet proved after a service.
