Own two vehicles - 2016 Ford Escape Titanium and 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited - my question is this - since we have only put on 1500 - 1600 miles on each vehicle in 6 months, should we still schedule a maintenance appointment now ??  
Thank you !!

A lot of maintenance is on a XX miles or XX months _whichever comes first_ basis. That means that even a vehicle that has spent most of its time sitting still needs attention. Your Owner’s Manual will have service recommendations.
