Is this an MOT Failure?

[Sloppysod]

Hi all, I have put this here as it's not a French car............. It's a German Opel Corsa!

Would this be an MOT failure, it's the two bump stops at the top of the rear shock absorbers? The pictures were taken with the wheels off the ground

Cheers

This part may be relevant:

(c) A shock absorber bush excessively worn: Major

5.3.4. Suspension joints, pins and bushes
Some rubber/synthetic bushes are designed to provide a comparatively high degree of compliance and are therefore likely to show some movement.

You should only reject rubber or synthetic bushes when you can see serious deterioration of the bonding or flexible material.

Many MacPherson strut top bushes are designed to have significant lateral play when the suspension is hanging free. You should only reject MacPherson strut top bushes when play is due to wear or maladjustment.
