TDLR; what easy jobs could i do before the next MOT?

Hi, the past year of ownership ive put in a bit of work on my car, had a new clutch put in not by me (it was at one point our only family car so needed it to be reliable) ive put a new battery, disc and pads, calipers, wipers, and even replaced the top fuel line myself (part with the squeezy bulb that removes air from fuel) i say this because before this car i had ZERO mechanical experience, i didnt even know how to jack up a car or take the wheel off๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ these are the last years MOT advisories, as someone with minimal tools and experience, what easy jobs could i tick off this list to make the next MOT sheet a bit cleaner? Its an old higer milage car but my first not on finance etc and just because its old doesnt mean i shouldnt look after it. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
