I was talking about the standard needed to pass an MOT.

As I said earlier, it's amazing what will pass.

HiTo

Are you a Mot Tester s b ?

are we sure there is a bush actually missing rather than just an over long bolt fitted?

In my unmechanically qualified opinion, I think the rubbers probably still in there, but the ends have deteriorated/disintegrated to leave the gap thats been tightened to get the pass.

I guess what to do with that bolt now depends on the condition of the car and how long you intend to keep it.

Nasty shed that's on it's last legs and will be scrap soon? Leave the bolt in place.
Planning to sell it within a year? Up to your own conscience whether to leave it or fix it.
Planning to keep it for 2-3 years? Fit either polybushes or standard bushes, whichever is cheapest.
Planning to look after it and keep it for quite some time? Fit polybushes.
