It's not always the mileage but the time the car has been used. If you are using the car daily and on shortish runs then the oil suffers more contamination than a 'motorway' car and should be changed at least 12-monthly along with the filter.

Why not get the dealer to do an 'essential service' they still plug the car in for any software updates, change the oil and stamp the book. Make sure you ask what oil they propose to use as they tried to fill mine with semi-synthetic before I pointed out it had always been run on fully-syn! - this service costs around £150.00.
