Is Toyota Spa Treatment worth it?

My 2009 Toyota is due for its 2nd MOT soon and 4th service.
I have received the reminder plus an offer to do 3 point vehicle spa treatment which includes flushing engine to remove contanimants etc, checking the AC system and a valet for £99.
I actually have an offer for a free MOT from last year cos the garage p****d me off over something.
I can afford the £99 but is it worth doing. I don't intend to replace the car any time soon [unless the Premium Bond comes up ;) ]

Any opinions?

    The engine flush is pointless. What exactly is an aircon check? Is it a regas? Is the aircon nice and cold? If its fine then again its pointless. If it needs a regas this would be £50 max.

    So no, its expensive and pointless.

    If its just a check on the aircon well you can do that yourself. Does it work?

    Flushing the oil or the water?
