Default 12,000 mle service / annual Service Advise.

Hi All,
Just need some advise regarding a 12,000 / Annual service on my P2 163 bhp diesel V70.
Fact or fiction.
I have owned the car for 4 years and kept up the 12 month annual service schedule averaging 9,500pa However, this year I have only covered 6,000 miles. In conversation with my 'Indie' mechanic I suggested to leave the service schedule until March 2020 to co-inside with my MOT.
They, stated the (Castrol 0- 30) oil change should not go beyond 12,000 or 12 months as the chemicals within the oil breakdown furthermore, the Castrol oil they use and comes in drums has better emulsifiers as opposed to Castrol 0-30 you can purchase off the shelf from your local car parts supplier.

Your thoughts on this.
