Advice needed: Is this a solid service history?

Hello guys

Can I please ask some of you more experienced FFRR drivers for advice?
I've been looking at a 2007 MY Supercharged FFRR.
The car now has 64'000 miles, the owner wants £ 14'260.- in Swiss currency.
This is its service history as far as I can make sense of it:

1. at 8560 miles: oil change
2. at 14527 miles: inspection 1
3. at 21590 miles: oil change, brake oil change
4. at 24418 miles: inspection 1&2
5. at 34213 miles: oil change
6. at 39436 miles: inspection 1
then a change of ownership and a 20 month servicing gap
7. at 53404 miles: service b, oil change, front brake pads and discs, auxiliary water pump exchanged

Would you consider this a solid service history and a good price or should I worry about the gap of 20 months and 15'000 miles at the end and try to lower the price or even just walk away from this one?
I've been trying to find out what kind of problems the long servicing gap could cause but am not sure.

Thanks for any help on this.

Chris

Please correct if I'm wrong but I'm sure all LR products have to be done every 12 months or 12-15k depending on model (FFRR, D4, Defender etc)

Until recently where I believe they have adaptive servicing based on how they are driven.


I'd probably haggle slightly but as it has only averaged 8k per year and all seems to be ok it may well be alright.

If it was coming from a gen LR garage the 20 month gap would fail the approved scheme as it isn't service in accordance with manufacture specs.

Thanks for your reply.
I forgot to mention that all services were done at official LR garage, the last one even at a LR dealership, but in a different part of the country. The sale is now from a private person, no garage or dealership involved.
