How many miles, and what does "mot" stand for?

82,000 miles and MOT us our annual Ministry of Transport check
for checking vehicle safety and road worthiness ,

Wow! That's pretty wild. I'm guessing you have an obliterated bump stop on at least that side also. I'd recommend throwing on some new front bump stops while you're in there. (OE aftermarket ones are available for very reasonable cost). My front bump stops were obliterated on my Boxster at about 110k miles when I recently rebuilt my suspension. (And I didn't even have any broken coil springs, although I suspect they may have settled a bit.)

Here you go
 

Yeah I put new bump stops , gators and top mounts, surprising how worn
Top mounts were, just got to get camber etc checked now and a
Re test and all is good ,
