How old is the car and how long have you had it?
As suggested, tyre pressures would be a good start, and yes, rear brakes could be binding.
Rodents in the airbox? Worth popping the top off to see if there’s any nesting in there, it happens!
Spark plugs and injectors can suffer if the car isn’t used much and old fuel sits in the tank for a long time.
Dealers charge a heap for diagnostics so maybe getting a VCDS cable or OBDeleven set up to have a good scan through fault codes. You can get cheap basic diagnostics devices for £20 too.
