wheel nuts.
water levels/window washer.
oil.
spark plugs.

Edit: Do what i do and use an old MOT sheet of things they check for that and do the faulty things first. check exhaust pipes too.

Engine wise just change, Oil and oil filter, air filter, plugs, check brake fluid (change if you want/can) check coolant level. Make sure cambelt doesnt need doing. Thats pretty much it on the engine and just give the rest a good check round, take rear drums off, check front brakes.
