Describe the noise exactly as you have here, the more symptoms you can give to the actual mechanic who is going to look at your car the more chance he/she will have of repeating the noise and finding the problem.

I wouldn't leave it, could be anything including a braking fault, if it is the exhaust loose floating about will shorten the life of it considerably.

What did the last MoT report? If nothing, then if the test was done thoroughly the rear suspension should be OK. Might be an exhaust problem, or failed hanger?

If another test is due soon, mention the problem to the tester. By the way, tyres can't 'rattle', it would have to be part of the wheel or drum.

Morning Andrew,

My last MOT was in July 2019. I got that problem above since Dec 2019. I had a major car service last month and there was no report about the rear brake.

Thank you

Worn dampers that knock are not always picked up on MOT unless they have visible leak, worn damper may be the cause of this.

What do you mean by "bumper"? Most people would think a bumper is part of the front or back of a car.

Think the OP means road hump, typo.

Dear all,

I managed to record the "rattling" noise when I brake my car. That noise came from the nearside tyre region.

I will visit the garage with that audio, hoping that the garage will understand the problem better.

Please listen to the noise and share any opinion.

Thank you

I'd have said the tyre was rubbing against inner wheel liner or mud flap or something similar, maybe catching a distintegrating shock absorber dust cover.

Yes it does sound a bit like ABS working, might be worth checking the brakes have been serviced properly, most cars haven't.

One thing i wouldn't be doing is still driving around in it until someone competent had poke nosed about under it and made sure nothing was about to fall off or collapse.

To my mind the OP is in part the architect of his own misfortune if he thinks it's OK to drive over speed humps at 20 mph or more. They are there to slow traffic down! I shudder to think what stresses the exhaust and suspension is being subjected to.
