It's known as the doughnut bush by most

brake lines should only fail if they leak,some fail if they are rusty but thats not what they are told to do when sitting there mot tester test, is down to the individual tester, and that is your rear subframe bush aka a doughnut bush

oh i allways thought it was a fail if the lines was just pitted as i`ve had then fail for it in the past,as for the bush i dont think theres any play in it i cant hear any knocking when driving anyway
