My E30 M3 just failed its MOT due to front inner suspension arm having excessive play in the ball joint. These were new around 3 months / 1500 miles ago, so shouldn't be anywhere near worn out. Should they be covered under parts warranty?

Did you question the MOT tester and ask him what was wrong, or tell him they're nearly new?

If it's from ECP they will generally take it back no questions asked in exchange for a new part.

Part was from Ocean Falmouth, my local dealership.

Unfortunately I wasn't there to ask the tester myself or tell him the arm/ball joint was nearly new.

Thanks for replies. I'll let you know how I get on later today.
