Appreciate any experience known to a minor knocking noise that occasionally can be heard from the rear lugagge compartment of my Sagaris. It only can be heard at relatively slow speeds (mainly going up and down small curbing) and sounds a bit like a loose metal item (jack?). Cannot locate the source, any help would be appreciated.
By the way the Sagaris is absolutely mind-blowing and surpassing my expectations.

Had a similar sound in the T350, traced to the cans of tyreweld in their little compartment under the carpet behind the right wheel arch.

Check your exhaust supports inside the rear cover as well. The clips/rubber mounts came loose on mine and rattled: cured at 6K service.

Check that the rear hatch is closing properly. Had a mettalic tapping in my 350, it was the catch not catching properly and tapping on the latch at slow speed.

Had exactly this and it was indeed the tyre weld cans, I ended up putting some bubble wrap around them to stop it.
