I’m in two minds to either replace all 4 parts (trailing arms/ rear suspension arms -I don’t want to be treating,if in 3 months time its going to potentially fail its MOT. I had an advisory last December on this. Its more than surface rust!

Is this on the car you are using for the Netherlands trip Rob?
If the answer is yes and you are concerned about the structure failing then get them done pronto.
I can't think of a worse scenario than a car sitting on the side of the road in Europe with broken suspension.
If I get an advisory on an MOT then I get the problem sorted sooner rather than later.
But of course at the end of the day your car your choice
See you in four weeks time..
