serviced

Serviced is the past participle of the verb service and an adjective describing something that has received maintenance or accompanying services. As a verb, to service means to perform maintenance, repair, or inspection to ensure proper functioning. When something is described as serviced, it indicates a state of upkeep or that a service has been completed. In mechanical and technical contexts, a serviced machine, vehicle, or piece of equipment has undergone routine maintenance, such as inspections, lubrication, or part replacement.

In hospitality and real estate, serviced is used in compound terms to denote properties or spaces that include hotel-like services. A serviced apartment or serviced office is furnished and maintained by a management company, often including utilities, cleaning, reception, and other amenities. These are contrasted with unserviced or self-catering options, which do not include the same level of on-site services. The term is common in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe and has also spread to other markets through branding such as serviced apartments and serviced offices.

Notes: Servicing history is a common phrase in vehicle ownership, indicating records of maintenance work. In British English, servicing is typically more common than service in noun or verb usage when referring to ongoing maintenance.

Example sentences: The car was serviced yesterday. They stayed in a fully serviced apartment during their trip.
