I've got a ford fiesta st2 2014 plate

The cars done roughly 2300 miles

Today I heard something grinding I have no idea wat it is but it's coming from the wheels area drivers side

It's not always there

I seem to hear it when I take my foot of the accelerator and the car starts to slow it's self down round bout 30kph

The car doesn't make any nosies when I brake that I have noticed Besides the usual nosies from the brakes when I come to a stop to reverse

Also not hit any massive pot holes

Mind u don't think I've seen any in Germany lol

Any1 had this b4 or know what it is please

Thanks
