Clunk noise when I pull off - Jag XF 3.0D

[SteveJxf]

My 2011 Jaguar XF 3.0D sometimes has a bump or clunk noise from the rear when I pull off or come to a halt. Nothing was picked up on the MOT last month so I’m assuming it is nothing dangerous. Doesn’t happen all the time. I’ve checked the boot well and there is nothing rolling around there.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Does it happen only after using the handbrake?

Also worth checking the diff bushes for play.

Ignore this post, I wrote it out, posted it, re-read your post then realised what I'd written didn't apply.

Thanks for coming back so quickly. It happens with the foot break and hand break

Could be a loose caliper from a pad change, it's worth checking the bolts.

Loose differential mounting?

Hi,
It could be tank slap. Does it do this when the car has over half a tank of fuel? There is a known issue with the baffles in the fuel tank on the XF causing a knocking noise, noticable when stopping/pulling away. I had my 62plate XF S sorted under warranty there is a TSB for it. Could be yours was never taken back for it to be done?

My first thought as well. My boss's old XF had this.

Many thanks everybody. I now have a few possibilities that I can follow up on.
