My car was delivered 8 months ago (18th June 2020) and has done 3500 miles. Got in this morning and it’s telling me service will be due soon. Is this normal after 8 months!

Yes if the PDI wasn't done correctly by your supplying dealer.

Service interval on time is 12M. It flags up at around M11.

Have a moan to your dealer and get them to correct it.

I had a similar problem with first service interval. Bought the car new in north Scotland in December 2019 with a 3 year service plan.
The pre-delivery section in the service document was stamped by a garage in Sunderland 05/07/19 and the first service was stated as being due 05/07/20. i.e. six months after purchase. The service reminder came up in the car in July 1920 but the dealer confirmed that the first service would not be due until December 2020.
I was concerned that the service book would show a period of 18 months between p.d.i and first service which could affect warranty, so the dealer agreed to replace the service book with one showing a p.d.i. date as the date of purchase.
