Getting a clunking noise from the front n/s whenever i steer to the right. What could it be? Car just passed the MOT couple days ago with no problems.

Remember the MOT is as good as the tester only. Jack it up on the NS and get someone to tun the wheel lock to lock "knocking it" NS and OS a few times on full lock check it over. Take wheel off and check suspension bushes, wishbones, strut top mounts etc, steering rack ends.

Sounds like the CV joint is shagged. It does become extremely obvious when you steer to the extreme of the lock.

I think your right; could be the CV joint. It got worse over the weekend. I can also hear the clunking when going over bumps, small potholes and when starting to move the car.
