Question

What is the acceptable 1200 mile service internal to have taken place?

On a 50k+ miler would it really make that much difference?

Yes of course it makes a difference 50k or not.

Its running in oil and if left in too long can have an adverse effect on the cars in future. Its only meant for a short no stress period and needs to be changed for oil that fully protects.

If I bought a csl from new it would have the 1200 mls running in service near as damn 1200 mls dead. If its missed or gone heavily over in my eyes shows a distinct lack of care, and probably been ragged from 0 miles as well.

Just my take. KK

1400 is not too outlandish really, if it was 3k I might worry a little.

I think its up to +500 that OK

It never had any special running in oil (which was an untrue rumour for a while) infact it had the same old Castrol TWS 10w60 as we always put in.

It makes a difference because most buyers will go EEEEEEEEK if it's >600 miles or so over, and warranty could be affected tooo.
