Servicing:

Annual service & health check completed on 4 Dec 24, including an oil service

Next events are: annual/oil Nov/Dec 25, brake fluid Nov 26

Use and Storage:

I live and work abroad so the car is kept at a temperature controlled, secure, concierge storage facility. The car is covered and on a battery conditioner. They trailer the car for servicing etc and swap to winter wheels. On the same site is the detailing facility who completed the original coatings etc and who maintenance wash prepare the car for storage or collection including wheels off, underside and brake cleaning. Any coating or PPF maintenance is also attended to. The car has mainly been used for trips to Europe when I am back in the UK. It has also been used for some longer UK journeys. The car wants for nothing in terms of protective storage, attention and care.
