I suspect the tester hasn't really described it well, but it sounds like the rear beam bushes are worn. A common problem, parts are cheap enough (about 15 quid each for Ford ones) but it's not an easy job. Most garages will probably charge a few hours labour.
You may notice some knocking noises from the rear as you go over bumps. This would confirm worn bushes.
At least it's an advisory so you can get it done at your convenience.
