MOTs/servicing/regular maintenance? What's the difference?

Ignore the mileage posted in that Halfords list. Each car manufacturer quotes different numbers for the servicing interval. My old Avensis had to be serviced every 10,000 miles (or every 8-9 weeks with my mileage as it was then) but my new one has the service intervals at 12,000miles. Vauxhall petrol engines, I believe, get serviced every 18,000miles, so look in the book and go to your local independent garage to get the car serviced. DON'T go to your main dealer unless you want to get fleeced (and even then, they may not do all of the required items e.g. filters, oil etc).
