Does it mean it's due for a service !

It's telling you it needs a service.

You can turn the warning off yourself by putting the key in the ignition but don't turn it, hold down the trip counter reset knob, start the car while continuing to hold down the trip reset, keep it pressed in for 10seconds then release it.

Keep in mind this only resets the light, it still needs a service, unless it was serviced recently and the garage didn't reset the warning counter.

Are you sure the same "insp" light doesn't come on if there is another problem with the car? See what your handbook says about it.
