At face value I disagree, 1100 miles in 7 months is roughly 40 miles a week which is worst case for oil use. Frequent short trips never brings the fluids up to operating temp long enough to boil off contaminates. This is considered severe duty and actually requires shorter oil change intervals.
Now if you've only driven twice for 550miles in 7 months then the year interval is fine.
Get out and drive the car more!

Definitely get the oil analysis done.
