I'm looking at an Astra K 1.0 2017 Elite nav that's missing a service over the covid time. I believe it's supposed to be done every 20K or yearly. The service history is:

2/2018 - 2k miles
2/2019 - 10K miles
2020 - not done
3/2021 - 24k miles
6/2022 - 33K miles
8/2023 - 40K miles

It seems to be quite common for a service to be missing over the covid time, so just wondering if this can be seen as a big issue? Would you still buy it?

It's not missing tho, is it?

Serviced in 2/2019 at 10k, so due at 30K or 2/2021 and it was serviced before that.

I'd not care in the slightest, less so on a runabout. Bought a Civic recently with a similar gap

The car looks to have been very well serviced to date and if all other factors meet your requirements it looks OK.
