Front Brakes and ABS

I have noticed that the ABS is coming in more frequently when I brake hard - and it seems to just be one wheel - the front offside.

The discs were replaced at 25k miles 3 years ago and now have 56k miles - pads are around 5k old....

The car has just been serviced, no warning lights are showing, tyre wear is even and the tyres seem to have plenty on them - although they have covered over 25k miles.

I am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about possible causes.

Look for pad material buildup on that brake rotor. Sometimes in heavy braking pad material will bind to the rotor making it "sticky".

Another possibility is that the cooling vents on that rotor are plugged with debris and it heats and/or over heats faster.
