Default Vauxhall clicking brakes?

Got a 05 reg Vectra C im looking at for a friend from work.

Brakes work fine, but its got this annoying clicking sound which appears to be coming from the nearside left wheel, basically you brake to a stop at a junction/roundabout whatever and then when you let off the brake to pull away it will make this clicking sound?

Pads are fine, discs fine, everything seems to be in order?

Retainer clip? Loose pad? Loose caliper?

the pad carrier wears and causes the pad to move a little on the 1st press of the brake
no big deal, just a little annoying sometimes
common problem
