Don't cruise in top gear at 28Mph?? Other than that I can't think of
anything else especially if there are no problems with power delivery,
acceleration or cruising at other speeds.
I suppose if it has only done 17k in 3 years it could do with a good long
motorway run to give it a clear out.
The only thing to watch for on these engines is the head gasket going
(consumes a lot of coolant at first before any sign of power loss if that
ever happens) and on some variants the distributor arm can crack leading to
a misfire under acceleration as the HT pulse earths itself through the
camshaft into the engine before it gets to the plug.
