Only one service in 18 months & 26kmiles: buy it or not

I am in the market for a new to me RRS - I have my eye on a MY13 RRS at a main LR dealership

http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk/search#/details/2451040

It is registestered 30/11/2012

But only has one service on 29/04/2014 at 26,221 Miles

I thoughts it was one year or 15k miles whichever occured first

Should I be concerned ?

I don't see how they can be put that up for sale as an approved L/R, if its only had the one service. Confused Something doesn't add up there..... Plenty more vehicles to choose from. I'd walk on and find one with FSH. Imagine the damage to that engine not having a service for soooo long. The first service imo is the most important one to have. 16000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

I agree with all of the above, also check you could have extended warranty once the JLR warranty runs out, this could be vital when you come to sell it, also if you have a problem when it's out of JLR warranty. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

My Fullfat was a service shy in book but quick search of LR system showed it had been done but book not stamped. Might be worth asking. LR had no issue covering it until I made a claim for gearbox and it all kicked off about missing service. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

JLR will tell you that they will honour the warranty on the car but exclude things that relate to the Oil change i.e. turbos and engine components - well at least that's what they (JLR) told me when I was offered a Sport by a LR dealer that had dubious service records !

Thank you all for your replies.

On reflection I have passed on this one ....... if any of you are thinking of selling your 8-spd RRS then get in touch !
