Hi there

I've recently noticed that in my 06 Zetec S it slows down very quickly if i put the clutch down and is more gradual if i take my foot off the accelerator, its not all the time but its happened a fair few times recently. When moving off on a flat surface with no brakes applied the front right makes a noise almost as if its locked on briefly then it releases. I park it on a hill and when i first bought the car it would roll if i let it now it stops on the hill with no brakes applied. MOT is due soon and know this will be a problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked your pads and discs? Possibly binding or just locking up completely.

Check all wheel bearings too (Jack up and turn the wheel and listen)

Also possible handbrake sticking on the rear brakes

I would jack the car up and try spinning the front wheels. When I had my Fiesta both of my calipers seized within a week of each other. It was driveable as the wheel would spin so much. If it turns out to be your caliper I would replace the caliper and get new pads on each side as driving with them seized will eat away at your pads

The Calipers on the fiesta gather dust around the pistons,

It can cause uneven brake pad wear and if they are binding for a long time the disc will warp
