You're looking at it wrong.. Try tilting your head a little less

Common fault. The bush at the top of the trailing arm has gone. It is easier to replace the whole axle but make sure you see it on the car before it is removed to make sure that's not gone either.
If the wheel is tilting in far enough to touch the body work it will acually fail the MoT.
A bodge fix for this is to move the body work. Big hammer!

Or use a wheel spacer?

How much you willing to spend? As if the beam ..."shafts" are worn which they will be these can be replaced along with the four needle roller bearings and seals, if left to long the beam tube will become oval shaped! And then defo a complete beam will be needed
