The passenger side front wheel on my bird's Citroen ZX grumbles. It tends only to grumble when you're turning right moderately hard, loading up that side of the car - in a straight line it's generally silent.
Any ideas? Wheel bearing or something else?
Tell it to suck it up and take it like a man. ;P
CV joint?
Wheel bearing would be the first suspect.

It's just occurred to me that a) it's been doing it a while and b) it passed the MOT quite happily in December. Is it possible for them to be knackered and not have play?
Most definitely.

Bah. Hate doing wheel bearings.
Hydraulic press. Makes it easy. (Or possible on old VAG ones)
Doki ("Doki" ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Yes. Easily.
First comes noise, then comes play. Then, eventually, comes seizure... A mate had a rear wheel bearing seize on a Renault. At 60+. A near new tyre had a flat spot through to the cords.
(but eventually will be a while...)
Yes.
