Rear shock movement at the bottom - MOT fail
#3
If that movement is at the linkage it sounds like the bearings are shot.
The sleeves run in needle rollers... dismantle a bit further and you'll doubtless find some have a bunch of rusty rods instead of nice shiny rollers.
About 2mm vertical movement at the rear wheel is normal though, the tiny amount of slop at each pivot adds up and is magnified by the leverage.
