Maybe? I still think changing the oil frequently is the best thing you can do for an engine.
The problem with long service intervals is that if they coincide with an MOT then there's scope for other things to fail in between and not get picked up until they fail.....tyres are probably the no.1 issue, "I've got a puncture.......no you've not, there's a hole worn through on the inner shoulder of the tyre, it's knackered, where's your spare? Don't have one-it's a 7 seater.......well have a pleasant wait(2 adults, 2 Grandparents, 2 toddlers and 1 babe in arms) for recovery from this very busy dual carriageway!"
Missfire, I know you're not the average Joe but there's lot's of them out there.
The Kia shouldn't give you grief, and like you say ideal for carting bairns.
