Velocity rear bushes

The rear bushes are failing on my Velocity and need to be replaced. Got picked up on the MOT yesterday along with a few other items that need to be sorted out.

Do I need to source these from Luego directly or do other bushes fit? If so where can I get them and what do I need?

Is this a common problem on the Velocity? It's only covered 2.5k miles and I had expected them to last longer.

Do a search on crush tubes , that could be part of your problem

I can't say I've noticed any squeaks.

But then again it's very loud and I always wear a helmet so I don't hear a lot of things.

Try bouncing the car without the engine running . Most of the Luego's I have seen squeek unless the crush tube issue has been sorted. One of the Luego owners told me that they buy the bushes and crush tubes in (Can't remember which one ) Perhaps Rally Design would be able to help?
