Creating unnecessary work

Just had my Land Rover (cam belt etc)serviced and mot but on the VHC check I’m told that it urgently requires both lower control arms, a prop shaft centre bearing, one tyre which is 91% worn and a number plate bulb at a cost of over £3000 pounds on top of the £1240 service. I questioned this as I had done very little mileage since last year, and had just returned from Paris without any issues, so after the service the vehicle has its MOT which it passed with only 1 advisory the number plate bulb. It seems to me that monthly targets needed to be met and creative repairs were required. I almost sanctioned the work as it was apparently urgent, I have always had it serviced by a main dealership but after this experience it will be the last. I’m still waiting for a manager to phone me for a explanation on the VHC verses the MOT
