Service schedule for motorway cars?
What in particular should be serviced more or less on cars which just do long distance motorway commutes? The brakes used a lot less than in town driving but surely high speeds over long distances affects a car in other ways?
I do 200 miles a day which is 95% motorway at 70+. Surely the bog standard 12.5K mile service is overkill. Or is it?

Taxi drivers change their oil every 5k miles. Obviously only change the brakes when they need changing. Wear on steering pump and rack and DMF and clutch is relatively light on motorways when you don't hit congestion.
