As with my rrs, works perfectly till I go on a longish journey.
Initially It had stiffish suspension, like it was stuck on dynamic mode. I checked the usual suspects, no issues.

3k miles in 2 years? It's probably throwing issues out of boredom. Get out there and drive it!

Welcome Muddy90,
I would check what oil they used. If using an inferior cheap oil it could cause issues.
The 6speed on a 4.2 does get a fair bit of hammer, so changing the oil may have cleared ou ... |

| My 2012 heats in minutes, you can feel the temperature difference on the glass after a minute, and see the lines up the screen where it is de icing, but usually I just use the pre heat. |

If I am not mistaken, the paint code is on the vin plate under the bonnet.
On my previous rrs I used a small trimming firm to replace the ripped leather, it was only around £70.
