A slight shudder on tick over. Problem??

Afternoon guys
First post on this forum so please be gentle. Bought my boy his first car, a 2006 Polo 1.2 SE perrol. The car has done 103000 miles and hasn't been serviced for over a year. Start up is very sluggish and on tick over there's clearly a misfire of some kind. The plastic cover in the engine shakes. As you push the acceleration pedal there is a slight delay until the car revs. It sounds like it's struggling to get its first lot of fuel into it. Driving is fine with no loss of power or issues. I have had new plugs and coil packs fitted as a mobile mechanic said that cylinder three was misfiring which hasn't really solved the problem.
Is there an obvious issue that you experts think it might be?? It is having a full service with a fuel filter etc replaced on Thursday. Hopefully that might sort it.
Any help would be appreciated.
