Default Balljoints !!

MOT today...... went to collect car, and was informed that they had to replace the front offside balljoint as it was worn.
Ok I thought that should be covered under the Volvo MOT insurance I took out, if not then it should not cost a lot.
WRONG.... the balljoint and control arm are all joined as one unit.
£123.00 + labour + vat.
Luckily it was all covered, but that has worn out in under 5 years use and only 73k on the clock, which seems a bit quick.
Watch the nearside one wear out ready for next year !!!
Car is a '97 V70 2.0
