Sounds odd to me. Even on a car with 100k you wouldnt expect wishbones to be changed.
Some clarification should be sort. Have a good look underneath it make sure none of them are banana shaped. That could be an advisory?

Has it been stored in the sea? 
Could it be wishbone bushes that are perished through age and low useage?

Car bought and sitting on my drive. Cleaned within an inch of its life and I'm just about to go out and put a huge smile on my face.
Thanks for all the advice and especially HH for his time. Bought with eyes open thanks to him.
Great forum.

Great forum.
Thanks for the kind words
just a couple of tips
1. Get it health checked / serviced by a VX knowledgable mechanic..relly know what you have..
2. Get yourself booked on a drivers day..you get to know the cars limits as well as your own
All new cars came with a days free driving at bedford aerodrome and there are some good guys on the forum
