Do you get a mot at the doctors?

Mine is called an LCR (long-term conditions review) and includes a variety of blood tests to check things like cholesterol, kidney function, thyroid, diabetes and other things (I don't have those conditions, but they check to see if they have developed). They also check height, weight, blood pressure, asthma, which I do have, and ask about things like diet and alcohol intake. I always used to get a liver function test too, but last time it had been taken off the list, presumably for budget reasons.

My cholesterol is high and I’ve just been put on a 40 mg statin…

Yes, an annual one, am at the same age as you: it's with a nurse unless something untoward is picked up. It's been for maybe 3/4 years.
I'm glad what was needful was picked up when you asked. Keep asking!
