Default Would you buy a car that had been serviced late?

I'm in a quandary,

There's a car, a 2006 Forester.
It was serviced on the money at a main dealer up to feb 2010 @33k
Then it was done 4 months late in june 2011 at a local garage.
Then a month late again in July 2012 @ 52k (inc cambelt)

That was the last time it was serviced so its due one, current mileage is 61k
Am I being too picky or does that sound ok?

It wouldn't bother me.
Servicing is only as good as the garage doing it anyway, I always use someone I know so I know they use good part and do things properly.

Yes, you're being too picky.

I'll bet there's people on here with 2.5's serviced religiously and more and they've still blown up.
