Congratulations on the MOT. Many years ago we had a Vauxhall Ventora that had a habit of eating half shaft oil seals. A friendly mechanic gave us the answer. Before you replace the seal, remove the spring and shorten it about 3mm. That gives it a little more tension and helps the seal action. It worked on our car anyway.
