Whatsit mean? Tie bar ball joint deteriorated?

Got this advisory on MOT:

" Tie bar/ rod ball joint dust cover deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt offside front upper."

They weren't touting for business as car passed MOT and they never actually mentioned it on collection.

What does it mean please?

Thanks.

Or it could be the one at the rear, also called tie rod / control arm .
