No.

When i spoke to the guy in the garage he said they had never changed a bearing on a car that young. He said it was more likely to be the Sawtoothing (inside of tyre goes like a 50p) of the tyres at the rear.

However i changed the tyres round (as he suggested) and it was still there. So took the car to them (when i was going for my MOT) and the technician got in and i drove about 50m and he said yeah sounds like Wheel Bearings.

Did the MOT and it failed due to both front wheel bearings.

He said it was the first time they had ever heard of that and he was even more shocked that both had gone.

Good result though they covered it under the Warranty which they originally told me it wouldn't be. They also never charged me for the failed MOT. So all in all it cost me £54 for an MOT

just worth noting, my car at 11 months old developed a faulty fronty wheel bearing.
