The Lexus dealership does this. I bought a 2015 Lexus Nx200t a year ago from them. I have only put 2500 miles on it in one year. I took it in for its service after one year and the list of recommended servicing was amazing. It shows what they did not do when they took it in on trade.

These are some of the recommended servicing items:
Replace battery
Replace transmission fluid(60k miles it has never been done)
Turbo servicing to remove carbon build up
Replace differential fluid
plus a couple of other things.

I will go ahead and get the battery replaced but want them to tell me how old the battery is. When I bought the vehicle they gave me a list of what the condition of most things were like brakes, tires but not what should be done.

Overall like the car. Comfortable, reliable and good in snow. But not as fun to drive as my daughter's Audi Q5.

Cheers, Guy
