Would suspect either a sticky caliper or left foot braker

This is not at all uncommon !
We even get them where the disc pads have long since been spat out and the calliper piston/s is all that is gripping the remains of the rotors !
And we keep seeing threads on here from people claiming that WOF's and there frequency in this country is over the top . codswallop, you only have to work in a workshop for a while to see the substandard condition of a lot of the death traps that people are running around in.
Personal responsibility is all very well for those of us that can afford and maintain late model low K vehicles, but what about the rest ! . we have vehicles presented to us that have 6 mth out of date WOF's stuck on their windows because they can't afford the six monthly inspection fee, let alone the costs associated with maintaining a vehicle to WOF standard . and the only reason why the bleeding thing has finally been presented for a WOF is because they have been 'unlucky' enough to encounter a check point and have been issued a compliance ticket, otherwise they would still be coming at you and I at 100 plus clicks in their death traps !

Dam just when I thought I was using my discs to maximum use obviously not lol
My cherry picker. Brake flicked itself on while I was driving home. (my fault for not disengaging it properly. Starting pissing blue smoke out 1h into drive. Result is. 2 cracked rotors, Calipers smoking. 1 set of brake pads fallen out somewhere! Other set of calipers were bent the wrong way. Very expensive mistake since they dont make the hubs/discs anymore

You won't get another 50k out of that mess, it needs disc pads lol
Haha you win. My pic was from reddit, the bird who took her car in for a different reason refused to get them fixed so he made her sign a waiver (yes from the US.)
