07 2 Servicing - hardingre

I have just purchased a BMW 118i from {snip, no need to name them as irrelevant to question being asked} first registered 9/07, mileage 20,000. Checking the service book properly at home the first service was carried out in April 09 after 18,000 miles. Whats more the car has a slight knocking noise from the rear nearside. There is a noticeable misfiring occasionally and petrol consumption is currently averaging 25mpg. Any comments on the service interval before I query it would be welcome.
