You'll get told take it for a good long run up a motorway at speed by various people here and it's worth a try sounds like it doesn't see a lot of use but it doesn't sound like a narrow miss.

You could try some of this too http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_189098_langId_-1_categoryId_255221

(I'm presuming it's a diesel)

If it doesn't fix the problem then I'd guess you might have something wrong with one of the sensors and you'll need to get it hooked up to a diagnostic computer
As long as there are no warning lights (orange engine shaped light, or similar) then I agree with Jake, give it a blast up a fast road keep it in 4th and hold it at around 3000 revs. Does it idle smoothly?
