Where are you located Ken?
If youre local to me I'd be happy to look over it for you.
To be fair I would expect that an MOT test ought to have shown up anything untoward.

I had an elusive rattle from the front several years ago. I mentioned it to the MOT tester and he gave me an advisory for a lower ball joint. I couldn't feel anything wrong but changed it anyway. I then noticed one of the drop link nuts was loose. Nut tightned and noise gone, I changed the drop link as well as a precaution.
