It's not an Inspection part…no different to balljoints, bushes etc. You change it when you need too. Don't need to replace any bolts, only one you might need to replace is the nut holding it on I'm not sure if it's a single use nut.
I've got to change my front prob coupling also. I can see a tear in mine. Eurocarparts sell Lemforder ones for ÂŁ67 . Inspection 2 on mine is 2 years off. Can't find any DIY threads yet .
What mileage have you covered?
Couplings would not be an inspection II item, however a possibly MOT advisory or failure.

Mines sitting @ 112k now. So it's due to be swapped as I recon it's original. My car was completely std when I bought it. I'm now going through the car and replacing all the usual worn items and problem areas.
My spring refresh list reads simular to Shimmys.
