Slightly warped disc or rough spot caused by overnight corrosion twixt disc and pad.See if a hard braking from 80mph will fix it.

Hi
I had a similar fault on my old mondeo (very faint at the steering wheel)
Mine turned out to be a track rod end with abit of play in it just remember if it is replace the pair and check the tracking after 
maybe worth a look.
regards Adzs.

although it did nearly cause a pile up on the epping new road , should have checked my rear view mirror before slamming on the anchors
