Left-hand noise

I have a 1996 GLS 5 door 1.2 8v, both myself and the previous owner (who i'm friends with) have noticed a sporadic noise coming from the lest side rear wheel area when going round sharp corners or roundabouts, it doesn't happen all the time just now and then. The previous owner had a couple of different mechanics look at it definitely no wheel bearing issues or brake rubbings.

I figure it's the bodywork rolling over and touching the wheel or something like that, but there are no cuts in the tyre that would suggest it.

Just wondered if anybody had similar issues?
