Apparently so, according to my dealer.
Mine nearly failed its first MOT for this reason (MY98).
The ones which most commonly fail are the rear anti-roll bar link bushes. They are relatively easy to replace. I would recommend Powerflex - will cost about £40 if you fit them yourself. The most difficult bit was getting the old rubber bushes out of the plastic link arm.

m8 - if the link bushes are on the way out, just go for the whitelines - they will actually help by reducing flex.

Enjoy!
