Hope someone can help as I can't pinpoint this strange noise. 

 

The noise is a loud click whenever I press the break peddle only while rolling backwards . It sounds like it does come from the peddle area but it seems fine. Nothing else is loose or dodgey as it's just passed MOT. 🙏 Hope someone can help diagnose this strange one. 

 

Many Thanks

It's your rear beam axle jacking up, mine does it too, I daresay they all do it.

Hmmm ok, so what is actually causing the noise? I've had the car 6 years and never heard it before

Dunno, but every car I've owned with a rear torsion beam axle has done it if you brake while rolling backwards.

This is definitely a front end noise though not rear 

If its a click on first application reversing, possibly another click when going from reverse/braking  to going forwards and first brake application again, then possibly just the pads moving in the calipers, slightly loose fit. Usually more noticeable after new pads are fitted.

 

Another thing you might check are the front springs. Check for a broken off pigtail at the top and the spring sitting over the top bearing instead of under it.

Not hearing the noise is a bit of a disadvantage but can be a few things to check, most common noise on pressing brake pedal when going backwards are the disc pads in the caliper moving position but usually more of a clunk  as mostly  people do not replace pad springs when changing pads, front drag links could be worn or torsion bar rubbers  but then again more of a clunk and  you would hear them  going forward on a bumpy road, front coil springs are known to crack right at the top just as they locate to the wing but again more of a clunk than click the only other thing i can think of is the front right top engine mount as the bolts in mine were loose and once retightened noise then stopped,----- Ha also remember that the wishbone rubber mount bush had started to fail and this made a clicking noise  when applying the brake it was still in one piece but the side rubber had collapsed causing this strange clicking noise, i landed up changing them for Seat Cupra wishbone bushes a solid bush much better handling and lasted many years compared to the slotted design of the Fabia bush a bit more expensive but cheaper in the long run if you have to pay for labour charges
