Hi,

I drive Nissan QQ 1.6 NTec 2011, MOT was done in May 2017. There were following advisories on my MOT and i am planning to fix them. Car has done 4k miles since last MOT was done.

I was wondering which one of them are more important?

Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin aprox 3000 miles (3.5.1g)
Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin aprox 3000 miles (3.5.1g)
Front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (3.5.1i)
Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)
Offside Front Inner Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)

Be carefull before you spend good money. Years ago I had an advisory about brake discs, even though they had been renewed less than a year before. They were good for another 5 or 6 years.

None of them. They are advisories and experience tells me that they like to put something on the record but if you leave them till next year you may or may not have the same advisories again. If you only do 4000 miles a year, I'm willing to bet your pads will last at least that long.

Do you mean pads would last 4k miles? I have already done 4k.

Go to a garage you trust and get them to check your pads/discs again as you’ve already exceeded the previous advisory.
Sooner or later you’ll have to get stuff done by someone, unless you are able to do your own, which doesn’t sound like the case here.
