I'm on 76k - last service was it's 8th at Autofficina showing 73k in March 2019 and a fairly comprehensive one at that (air filter, oil filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, drive belts, engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, screen wash, both cam cover gaskets).

When would be the next recommended service and what should it involve? I try to drive the car a couple of times a week (short journeys mostly), and doesn't get taken off the road for winter.

I do oil, oil filter, coolant, pollen etc 10k miles, oil only 5k

Other things when that are an issue, gaskets are fine, plus changed once, noticed zero difference except a bill, drive belt ok, I do screen wash myself, other fluids never bothered though I suspect I should address gearbox, diff and DS oil

Although the schedule says every 2 years I will be doing mine every year, and I only do about 5k/year. Plus it gives the garage, auto shield in my case, a chance to check over the underside every year to keep on top of any issues that may develop there, rather than leaving a 2 year gap.
Did the diff and gearbox oil on mine too recently just because it seems like good sense to me.

I too do an interim service - oil, filter and anything that looks wrong every 12 months...then normal service schedule every 2 years

Is it ‘officially’ every 4 years or 48k miles?
4 years and 25k. It’s basically the same service every 2 years/12.5k miles except for the lambdas /carbon canister every 4yrs/25k miles, with the later items advised to be done on discretion (at least by the specialists, whereas handbook lists as a matter of course). If you’ve got bad lambdas you’ll be seeing lights on the dash

Assuming that mine were done at 4 years by the original owner, I then had them done again after another 8 (ie skipped at the second 4 year).
