I think that connection is usually for a sink overflow. Should work but I guess it will be a little bit noisier than the usual place on the p trap.
Airhead-
Yeah - its not ideal. I initially took it all apart as the washing machine was filling the sink. Turns out someone tipped the contents of the toaster down the sink causing a block in the section before the trap and the washer emptied quicker than it could drain.
I guess thats why previous fitter had that weird elbow with overflow connected to it as they had used up the sink overflow point for the washer.

Couldn't find anything so just replaced the whole lot. Was tricky due to the waste pipe exiting the wall quite high up, couldn't fit a p trap with a connection for washing machine for example as it was too tall so had to swap it out.
Not sure the washing machine should drain where it does but its where it was before. If anyone has any suggestions..
At least everything slopes now
