Hi
It looks from your photograph that it is indeed worn, whilst not dangerous I am sure it would not pass an MOT like that.
What I do is build up the inside of the track rod with braze and build up the steering arm with braze.
Then carefully file them flat and parallel to a nice fit (the clearance can be generous) before putting bushes and pins in.
You can normally see where they are worn and therefore where they should be.
Once done you will feel much better and they will look better.
Hope that is helpful.
