I'd personally not trust a service record by any non Porsche dealer or specialist here in Oz, normal mechanics are more used to working on Asian cars and 4x4's than our weird little German things.

Best bet if you're unsure is get a PPI (pre purchase inspection) from a dealer service centre or specialist indie (in Sydney region that's basically 'Carvaco motors' in Glebe that I use, or 'Auto H ause Hamilton' in Chatswood). They will be able to give you a checklist of what the car needs and how much it might cost to put right. May cost you a few hundred but could save you thousands in the long run.
