I doubt if it is that, as they should have tested that at the MOT, which I assume was recently? And although that method is no real substitute for getting the wheel up and having a feel but it might show up the problem if it's really bad. ABBA stands are fairly inexpensive and probably a good idea if you don't have a centre stand and although the front lift kit is crude it does work for most things like removing wheels/forks etc.
