I'd check to see if the CV boot is intact. The joint could still fail if it is, but its more likely if its split and lost its grease.

Unless the CV joint has suddenly failed recently, that would certainly be an advisory on any recent MoT. Most testers like adding that one.

I thought a split boot was a fail rather than an advisory, but don't think I've ever had either, though I've fixed one or two before putting them in for an MOT.

Relatively easy in the UK because you can (or could) get the split boot kits. You can't get those here.in Taiwan since they are predominantly a DIY product, and there is no DIY.

Except me, obviously.
