Shouldn't happen with a car of that mileage .Have heard about oil pump problems with that engine . Pity you missed the service as it may have helped in trying to get some contribution to cost of repair even though out of warranty age wise . Very unlikely now .

Thanks. Do you know what the pump problems are

It's a complicated engine and very important that the engine oil and filter are regularly changed , especially if used for short stop / start journeys . There are other technical issues also .
