To be honest it has been a joy to own a car with no rattles or clunks and I was a bit amazed that anything was worn.
But on Tuesday their appeared an intermittent rattle which was coming from the rear end I had it back on the ramp but this bush is the only worn part.
So to my question can you buy this part separate rather than buying a complete shock absorber and if so where?
The shocks are working fine so it would seem a bit pointless changing them.

I had the same as an advisory on last MOT. I was quoted £155 for 2x rear shocks from FRF. Euro car parts do them for about £21 each at the cheapest. Not sure how long the job takes but I did both rears on a Merc 190e a couple of years ago in about an hour and that was my first attempt at anything suspension.
