Do you have a Haynes manual? If you going to have a fender get the f@@kin bible for it and read it most question will be answered?
Haynes manual wont answer anything as they are rubbish.
Just go back to the garage and ask them whats what.
I would say the mot man has just listed the failed itme under a general heading, could be the panhard rod which ois the arm that attaches the front axle to the chassis
Mark stick your location up and a local landyzone forumer might come and point you in the right direction
Google defender parts manual, then upload it, once done search for drag link and you will see a decent exploded pic.

top swivel pin I'd say - probably just needs a shim or two removing.

I thought tractors were exempt from testing.
