Again, good advice you hear a lot of places. I need new break pads anyway I believe. Also for peace of mind. I think the London driving in itself is hard on any car so I want everything to be well updated.

Absolutely. For peace of mind, I agree.

That’s great. That’s the ones I will go for actually. It should also make the labour cheaper as they are quicker to fit. But what do I know. Really appreciate your advice.

Thanks Texas. I absolutely agree. We are driving the best cars in the world money can buy 😁. The main costs will most likely be the man hours for the fix. I will want to stay with OEM parts also as you suggest as I have heard its false economi to change this particular part with non-oem. I hope it can be done below £500 (keeping in mind its easy to be ripped off in London)

Hello Everyone, Just bought my car yesterday and I absolutely have fallen in love with it already. Driving the car back home to London yesterday I thought this is too good to be true as the car felt great all around. After closer inspection of the latest receipts I discover this comment/recommendation: “BOTH FRONT LOWER ARM REAR BUSHES SPLIT AND HAS SLIGHT MOVEMENT”. Does anyone have a cost estimate on a fix for this. I won’t be doing it myself. Also my MOT is in November and I believe it will be a fail if not fixed? What I don’t understand is that the latest MOT does not mention the issue even though MOT is dated later than the receipt - meaning the issue was there also when car had the last MOT check. I did inspect all the MOT certs in great detail but still missed this not going over all receipts in great detail. I did ask the seller what he thought would need to be fixed in the future as he was very knowledgable about his car having owned it for nearly 10 years. I would have asked for a reduction in price would I have discovered this in the sales process. The car does not show any signs of the issue when driving (I think) - even over the thousands of road bumps we got here in London. No knocking, pulling to the side etc, but I believe it will fail future MOT so looking for advice on how to deal with this.
