So it has had an advisory to get the wheel bearing changed and you spent money having the alignment done before getting this issue sorted?
Without even seeing the car I'd be inclined to agree with the last MOT tester and reckon you should probably get the wheel bearing done!
Steering wobble / vibration can be caused by all manner of things in the suspension or drivetrain or even something as simple as wheel balancing (not so simple if your wheels are bent). Get the bearing done first and foremost though.
Try grabbing the wheel at 9 & 3 o'clock and give it a good shake, then try to wobble it in a vertical direction with your hands at the 12 o'clock position too. If it moves at all then chances are the bearing is knackered. You don't even need to jack the car up to check that, but it will make a more obvious movement.
