Have you actually checked via the dipstick?
Things like spark plugs, leads, filters can have an effect on the idle.
Then it goes into other things which need further investigation.
When's the last time you had the car serviced?

And i havnt had it serviced in a while, it did go through a road worthy not long ago, i recently bought it and am in the process of giving it a good throurough going over, taking a while cause of money though,
