Acme does kinda have a point, all of the checks here http://www.1320.co.uk/inspection-2-service-r50r53 would be done for an MOT, although perhaps things might get looked at in a little more detail during the service and they might adjust/tweak things as necessary.
Whilst some manufacturer servicing seems expensive, most manufacturers do 'value' services for older cars which usually costs about £100 but tends to have most of the checks a 'regular' interim service will. I usually go this route with my car and my girlfriend's car - you get the stamp in the book for the anal folk among us, and you don't pay a lot more than most random independent garages round here would probably charge.
'Major service' items such as plugs, air/pollen filters, etc., I do myself.
