I would have said wheel bearing. Sooner or later you'll find out if you start getting pad knock off and having to press brake pedal further after a sharp corner.

Indeed but if like mine you can't find any play in the wheel until you REALLY load it. Really annoying to diagnose till it got bad enough for it to get obvious when the brakes became scary. Even garage thought it was fine when they tested it for its MOT.
