suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn. My concern with taking the vehicle back to the same garage is that I had new arms/bushes fitted two years ago at the same place and have only done 10.000 miles since. I have had no feedback during driving to suggest there is wear. The garage also say that the parts they use are Rover and not cheaper aftermarket ones. Thoughts welcome.

Could be the hubs weren't clamped tight enough to the lower arm balljoints. Common problem as the official torque figure is barely enough, and over time any movement will wear the hub.
You, or your mechanic need to examine exactly where the play is - easy to do once the wheel is off the ground and the car securely chocked.
