MOT Fail? - Knocking suspension.

Hey All,

So curious to know, if you have a knocking noise coming from a suspension component, say a drop link. Would this be a fail if the rubber gaiters are still intact? Obviously there would be some play hence the knocking but if not excessive and the gaiters aren't split or anything, does the sound of 'knocking' warrant fail in of itself?

Thanks as always.
