Infamous near side rattle

[IQ22019]

Hi! My IQ is driving me made with the rattle that comes from the left hand side. Mainly over bad road surfaces, not really evident on the motorway. Have read most of the threads on here about it, so doubled checked the top of both suspension struts and their are tight, check the ARB and their are all ok, nothing obvious underneath trim wise that could cause it. Not sure where to look next, its my wife's main vehicle so need to get it sorted! Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

My recently acquired iQ3 seems to do this too. I had so far assumed that it was the undertray in the fuel tank area, and intend to check it out when I can get the car jacked up high enough. Everything around the rear suspension and brakes appears to be sound... 🤔
