Lower suspension arm wear

[Stevu]

Just had an advisory on lower suspension bushes wear on 2018 X1 with only 20k on clock 

Should they last a bit longer even on UK roads?

Hi Steve

Welcome to the Forum

On my X5's I reckon on around 60 to 80k so that does seem on the light side, however with my wife's Subaru we had the same advisory 3 years ago. I checked all the bushes and couldn't find any slack or movement ? It's passed it's MOT twice since then with no comment or advisories, we always use the same Garage for our MOT's  so I can only assume a new tester who saw something I couldn't ??

I would check the bushes then if there is no obvious sign of failure and if you have no odd tyre wear, Knocks bangs or clonks wait and see what happens next year it is advisory after all
