Default D3 MOT and Service

When I return from Spain the MOT on my D3 will need to be done as well as a service.

Now the car is on 132K miles, on variable servicing, so service wise what should I be looking at getting done. Cambelt etc. were changed in Jan this year. Keep in mind for the last 7 years its never seen an Audi main dealer and been serviced at several indies along the way (Volksworks, Blackpool and SJB Autotech, Basingstoke)

MOT wise, this car is a bit of an unknown. I did the MOT history check, and it took 3 goes to get the car through the last one. Failure on the first was emissions and worn front suspension arm bushes, so it looks like the then owner sold the car. Second one it failed on a number plate lamp and then it was passed. Looking at the suspension arms it does not look like they have been touched in years, however there are no clonks or noises regardless of road surface. All the issues I am aware of are sorted, so lets hope it goes through first time.
