“Irregularities” in Maintenance Records

Ok I’m reaching out to the Ferrari brain trust here to check my thinking. I’m currently on the hunt for a 575M and recently found one at a dealership (not Ferrari dealer but other brand of high end exotic) that I really liked. Reached out to the dealership and they sent me a package of scanned maintenance records. However, the VIN on 3 consecutive years (2014-16) of records was wrong. These were all minor services with some other incidental stuff like fixing an interior trim piece, replacing a sensor, etc. The 2017 record had the correct VIN and was for a major service with some other incidentals that appeared to be quite well done (Hill Engineering Bearings, etc.) and an appropriately hefty price. I ran the incorrect VIN and it came back for a 575M of the same year and color as the one at dealership that I liked.

So my question is, am I being paranoid to walk on this car or should I get it inspected anyway? I’ve been into vintage Porsches all my life and generally know what I’m doing buying and selling cars. This is my first step into the world of Ferrari and while a 575 isn’t a stretch for me financially, it is a major purchase and I want it to be right!
