E87 130i - buying advice / service questions

[DanDanDaan]

Hi all,

I am going to look at an '06 130i in the next few days - sub 60k miles but the service history seems very patchy.

break down is -

2009 - 25k - Oil, micro-filter.

2010 - 38k - Oil, micro-filter, spark plugs.

2012 - 53k - Brake fluid, oil, micro-filter.

This doesn't seem like a lot, but having read up all I can about 'conditional servicing' I am now very confused.

Are there likely to be big problems arising from the sparse servicing or will it be fine if I just insist on 12 months MOT and the oil and micro-filter being sorted?

Thanks for any help.

First registered 02/2006
First service is 01/2009,
- nearly a three year gap, which confuses me massively. If it was leased or PCP etc then surely the terms would include having it serviced according to manufacturer? Otherwise someone has paid around 28-30k for a car and ignored servicing.

Rang the number - £1 for them to tell me no one is available to take my call. I'll try later and hope for a result.
