Kalkhoff maintenance schedule - unrealistic and expensive?

Talking about the Leaf, I'm being tempted by a Tekna with 16000 miles on the clock £15000.00.

The Prius climate control has just failed, I regard this as an omen.

The older I get, the more I enjoy temptation.

Indeed, Suzuki are notorious now for having short service intervals, while Nissan have followed the sensible trend of reducing the necessity.

One Nissan exception though. The Leaf electric car. First service at six months, then at first twelve months, then annually regardless of how low the mileage. It's the battery checks they fret about.
.

Their bikes are just as bad..... I have a Suzuki and a Yamaha.
Service interval is every 3,500 miles on the Suzi but 6,000 miles on the Yam.
Valve clearance check/adjustment is 7,500 miles on the Suzi, but 24,000 on the Yam.
Although to be fair, the Suzi is old school screw & locknut valves and the Yam is modern bucket & shim. Even so, every 7,500 miles for valve clearance check is ridiculous and i do em every 15,000 unless they sound really rattley.

I trust that's with the battery included? Must be two to three years old though with that mileage, so not especially a bargain.

Best I saw was a mid 2015 Acenta at a few months old and I think about 1500 miles, £10.6 k with battery. It sold on the second full day on offer!

Shows what can be got with the Leaf though.

Who slipped up then? It's 1,600 miles a 2015 model.

That's much more like it, 16,000 miles had me a bit worried!
