It's your money & your peace of mind, so I'm not trying to talk you out of anything. I just want to say that 400 miles is very minor usage in 2 or 3 years and that the mileage has nothing (directly) to do with battery life. It's even possible that the battery may be undercharged if it sits for days/weeks or is only driven for short, infrequent trips. Up north, I had started keeping seasonal equipment on 'smart' maintenance chargers after a few quit accepting a charge following several months of non-use, when they were only a year or 2 old.
Corrosion on the cables is good reason to change them while you have it in for maintenance and you may also want the tech use a spray or 'battery terminal protectors' to prevent corrosion. I've had good luck with the latter especially.
