Default Intermittent vibration under deceleration

Had the Scoob just over 2 weeks and had no real problems with her till today, slowing down to about 10-15 mph in traffic a got a weird vibration that seems to come from passenger side front at first I thought it could be dodgy abs sensor on that wheel as had this before on mg's. but I have just pulled up to trafic lights and got the same problem but this time it stayed while I accelerated until I hit 20 mph and the cleared.

It feels like something is grabbing on that wheel.

I'm thinking killed bearing or possible cv joint but haven't got any knocking when on lock like you'd spect from cv joint?

I thought that initial but its quite a violent feeling vibration, bit like the diff is locking the front wheel up and I'm forcing it to move. If that makes sense

Right got it happening again.

Went to pull on drive car started vibrating, from 5mph and bellow only seems to do it as I go over the drop kerb on my drive, actually feels like the diff is locked?

I agree with AS, sounds like a sticking caliper.

If they stick on then that could still happen. If it's been sticking for long then it could have warped the disks which would not extenuate the issue.
