   if i was you id fix what is most importan first then service it if you can, because that will help with emissions eg; oil, fuel filter and spark plug change

   Take it for a pre-mot inspection then you`ll know what needs fixing.

   I wouldn't worry about a service unless it's massively overdue
   Get the inspection done, fix what needs to be done and then service it later
