"Deteriorating rear suspension bushes"

This usually means that they are visibly cracked when viewed.....as it's passed that means there is probably no play in them at all, if there was it would be a fail.

Ask me how I know.....my MOT man took me under and pointed it out.

It was an advisory each year till the old gal passed away.


"N/S front lower suspension arm ball joint has slight play"

Now this one will need addressing.......Advice...as acshortt5 says above it's the whole arm...Buy cheap replace every year !!!!

Hope this helps.
