my Bravo's 5th birthday is soon so MOT test this weekend...

front suspension is a little creaky over speed bumps these days so may need droplinks or topmounts, maybe even bottom balljoints

might need front pads too

fingers crossed...
 
Jack it up and have a look. You can see a snapped droplink easily enough and all they normally do is tug at the wheel to check the balljoints (with it raised, you shouldn't be able to feel any movement if you shove the top and the bottom of the wheel). Similarly there shouldn't be any slack on the steering ball joints if you wobble the steering rods.

Our Bravo normally makes groaning clonky noises on speedbumps, but it's fine.
