Default rattle over bumps, possible brake issue?

hi guys,
my mums got a 06 1.25 zetec fiesta. it rattles over bumps and rough roads, but it doesnt make a sound when braking.

ive fitted new top mounts about 6 months ago so i know its not them, im thinking could the caliper slider be loose?

drop links and bushes all seem fine, no play in cv's either.

so only thing i can think of is the brake caliper?

any advice would be great

Just had this problem on my st200 turned out the anti rattle clip on 1 caliper had fallen out, I put a new clip on and no more clunking

I've checked the 3 anti rattle clips that go into the piston and pulled them out a bit, the rattle has sort of gone.
It doesn't rattle half as much but still does it slightly so may pull them out a little more.

Are these the clips your on about?
