I did on my first S8, really to confirm what the seller had told me i.e. that it was on finance and that all needed to be settled as part of the sale.

Didn't on my more recent one, seemed pointless given its age and provenance.
Also didn't on my ex-demo dealer-supplied Volvo.

But then most of the cars I've bought over the years have been my own end-of-lease company cars (always in immaculate condition and recently serviced ) so no need as they were bought directly from the leasing company.
