Engine oil and filter every 6k, air and pollen filters every 12k. Diesel filters as and when you think best, I think on Fords they are every 4 years/ 50000 miles?

Probably an oil and filter, top up of fluids, visual inspection of front brakes, steering, suspension, look for leaks, check operation of lights and horn, tyre pressures, inspect tyres....

...although how much of those tasks actually get carried out is another matter.

I don’t know the age of your car but I’m sure if it’s an auto box the fluid needs changing at 5 years or 70k also
