Jack up front wheel, grab top and bottom, if there's play it's the king pins repeat with the other wheel.If there's play when you try by holding the wheel right and left (front and back) that would be track rod end or maybe the steering box, that's the one you're likely to be feeling through the steering wheel
I don't know how the MOT man could say it was play in the CV, I too think he meant King pins.

There is also a possibility that the wheel bearings have some play, and are in need of tightening.

Camskill sell the joint, iirc they're about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£60ish. Need to cut the old one off as there's a hidden circlip.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!
