Car servicing

Hi,

I usually get my car serviced at the dealer. I own my 2013 Prius C for a little more than 5.5 years, and always take to dealer for servicing. It has now 34K miles on it.

I have been taking the car to the dealer every 6 months. But he has been changing oil & doing tire rotation every year since it had low mileage.

From last visit he had been recommending me to do a bunch of things:
- brake pads replacement
- brake fluid change
- throttle fluid change
- mass air flow sensor cleaning
- etc

Is it necessary to do all these things at such a low mileage? How do I decide what needs be really done & what can I skip?

If I look at the maintenance guide, it just asks to do oil changes, change oil filters, do tire rotations, and "inspect" various fluids & other things.
