To include a wider audience, this car shares the same floorpan and suspension as the 1996-2004 Volvo S40.
The drivability of the car has been getting worse than usual recently, particularly going round corners and general stability (like a drunk on rollerskates!)
This cracking/groaning is coming from the back suspension.
Mileage is 60k
Are there any common weaknesses with rear bushes or balljoints?
Will the MOT man fail it for being noisy?

errr, never mind the mot - you are more or less admitting to a dangerous vehicle.
get it sorted.

"get it sorted."
I agree! Sounds possibly like one of the dampers has failed.
