The service interval is xxx miles or 12 months.
After 11 months, it counts down the time to the next service in days (if it thinks you will reach the one year aniversery of the last service before the next service is due on miles)

I would suggest that you have 29 days to go to the next service is due on time, even if the car has not done many miles since the last service.

^^ what he said.

You should get it serviced soon, even if you know it's only done 4000 miles in the year.

When I got mine I had an almost full service history, but I got a B service done anyway so I know where I'm starting.
