And you have a... 1997 estate ...2.0 petrol 16valve (I am Sherlock Holmes 
) so I'd imagine you have disks on the back. All I can suggest is you get it in the air and check nothing untoward is going on. Check the calipers aren't about to fall off and that they are free to slide on the pins. Yours probably has a load valve on the rear aunty roll bar which you should have a look at if you can't see any other problems. Not that there's much to see but it could stick and cause the noise.
