Ive just had the car up on axle stands with the handbrake off and there is zero play on the wheel at all

I held it at 12 and 6 oclock and it there was no play aswell as 9 and 3 oclock

It is solid and the handbrake was off..

There is a grinding noise however when i spin the wheel and noticed my handbrake was sticking when i took it off there to spin the wheels and had to really grab the wheels to free them so i could spin the wheel

Could it be the back brakes then that is causing the noise when driving?

Its only passed its MOT in july

Sorry if im a pain guys
