I have a similar list to the OP:

17" spare wheel, electric compressor and foam(acquired free from a scrap Honda), plus a digital pressure gauge
Breaker bar and 17mm socket
First Aid kit
Fire extinguisher on the floor in front of the driver's seat
1l of oil, funnel and some rag for wiping
Two LED torches - I had one and was given a headtorch
Small Teng socket set and spanners
Multitool
Halfords ratchet screwdriver set
Emergency triangle and sparebulb set(only because I go to France) and a few fuses
At least 2 hi-viz vests, used ones from work.
Phone charger and mount for the phone
"My Naff Code Reader" connector, where else would I keep it?
Some para-cord and a roll of duct-tape
Boot liner, luggage net and dog guard(both genuine Vx)
Dash cam, hardwired behind the rearview mirror
Loose change
Pen and a small note pad

This is all packed away in the various cubbyholes and the spare wheel well.

Depends where I'm going, eg the land of the cheese eating surrender monkeys, obviously I have to fill every nook and cranny with mindless junk.

To commute, just the usual V6 stuff, plus a blanket and shovel in winter, and flask and cuppa soup on harsh looking days.
