Pre-Warranty Checks & Dealer MOTs

My MCS is coming up to its 3rd birthday & to celebrate its going to have to endure its 1st ever MOT ritual

I had a letter from my MINI dealer last month asking me if I wanted them to do the MOT
{£55- against an independants av. price of £39-}
Now, I was planning to use an independant garage and ask them to pick up anything that could possibly be put right under my last month of warranty, but also mentioned in their letter was this "Pre-Warranty Check" for £35-
To do both MOT & Pre-Warranty check the dealer will offer a discount & do both for £75- inclusive.

Has anyone any experiance if the pre-warranty check is actually worth it, as it seems to me most dealers would tend NOT to highlight anything that might be expensive for them to fix, & may just fob people off saying their car is OK ?

Also attached is the Air-CON service sheet they sent for both Freshening up the system (£49-}, & the Arctic Blast - drain & refill {£69-}
Do they really somehow give the system an Ultrasonic Clean or do they just spray an Aerosol in ?
Either Way, Dont think I use it enough to bother with either of those
