Hi so I was kicking my tyres today because I've got 3 slow punctures and when I kicked the front drivers it definitely had play, like it was loose but very slightly, any ideas
 
It's just gone through an nct so I'm sure it's perfectly safe but I'd like it to be tight like new
 
Front wheel bearing. These can be tightened.
 
Just jack up car -[securely] -one inch off the ground. Look behind as you joggle the wheel left to right, and then by top and bottom. You'll distinguish between bearing and suspension joints / steering. Not expensive but best to run tightly as designed.
