timeline of the time someone looked at the coupling and checked it for wear and tear.
The circuit should be checked for tight connections from the disconnect box all the way to the pump pecker-head.
HOA or Hand-Off-Automatic switch should be checked for operation including manual and automatic AND the off position..

proper check can determine if the pump has the ability to pump the proper amount of fluid.
good way to estimate the time you need to perform maintenance is to check with the seal and or bearing reference to MTBF or their estimate of Mean Time Between Failure.
If MTBF calls for average failure at 14 months and the system fails 3 months assessment needs to made to see what conditions exist to cause the premature failure...
