Can anybody tell me where I can find a service schedule for the above detailing what needs to be done and when?
The service booklet explains that it needs to be serviced annually or every 12,500 miles, but doesn't give any detail as to what needs doing and when.
We've had the car for 9 years and it's fine, but we managed to lose the service history during Covid and servicing after Covid became erratic(!). We've now found the service history again and I want to try to work out how up to date we are.
We have had it serviced by an independent a couple of times in the last three years, but our mileage has fallen off a cliff since 2019 and it's only done just under 70,000 in 11 years since new.
I'm not thinking of getting rid of the car. I want to make sure it continues to run trouble free!

Just to add - my question is prompted by a thread on the Consumer Rights board where a poster ended up buying a used Ford Focus where the timing belt went "bang" rather expensively shortly after purchase and apparently it's a part that should be replaced every ten years.
I'd prefer to avoid any expensive "bangs" with our car whether it's a timing belt or anything else...

Oil & Oil filter every year even with very low milage.Google you car or Youtube it and find out haw to change your Air and Pollen filters yourself.If you read up on what a garage does during a service you would be shocked.Peugeot Main dealer for eg,Year 1, Oil & Filter, Check Check Check O yes do nothing.Year 2, Oil & Filter, Brake fluid change and Pollen Filter. ( Which they did not change until I check and pointed it out to them ).Year 3, Oil & Filter, Check Check Check O yes do nothing.Year 4, Oil & Filter, Air filter, Pollen Filter, Brake fluid, Fuel filter and Plugs. Age and milage dependant.Then repeat years 1-4 again.On older cars most people would get the Oil & Filter changed, then wait for an mot and fix what it fails on.My car will be 7 in September and only covered 22,000 miles.I still go with the main dealer as service plan as price is very good.Includes everything above plus Adblue top ups.Years 1-5 £13.42 a month.Years 6-10 £15.00 a month.Over 10 years its £170.46 per service.Plus half price Mot, saving £25 a year.Make sure you look into a Timing belt and water pump if required.

Thank you @wongataa and @Bigwheels1111
I've gone through all our service history this morning and now I can see what might have been overlooked previously or is scheduled for replacement around now.
Thanks again0
