My money would not be on the coil pack but on a component that delivers the correct fuel to air ratio. Such as a sensor, injector or possibly the pump as said above.
If I were to take a guess I'd say the plugs are fowling up and then defoulling again when the ECU senses an over rich mixture.
Dozens of possible components. Vx diagnostics specialist sounds like a plan. Before you take it there check the very basics - clean the plugs, check air filter clean, tighten battery terminals, check fuses for pitting, use some fuel additive, try a different petrol station, check HT leads clipped onto coil pack and plugs properly.
I would not assume that a garage has serviced as per the manufacturer schedule going by my own experience.
