My car had the same on a run a couple of weeks ago.
The pistons were not moving feely in the driver side calliper.
I have HiSpec callipers from Mulfab. I got a service kit , stripped it down, found the pistons were good but the internal seals not good.
The calliper seized, the pedal went soft, car was pulling to the right and very hot!
The fluid boiled, the pads were bad. I cleaned the disc, new fluid. The disc appeared true and unwarped, just dirty.
I have done a couple of test drives to bed in the new pads and so far brakes are ok. A couple more test runs to bed in fully and see if all is still ok.
When I pulled over due to the brake problem the brakes were really hot with a smell of burning and a small amount of smoke from the wheel. The AA came and cleaned things up and he followed me to check all was ok. It was and a careful drive home went ok.
