Car leaning to the right

I recently bought a 2004 Peugeot 307sw, my first car and I know very little about car maintenance. It seems in good condition considering the age and mileage (about 110,000 miles). Recently I've noticed that if I tap the brakes slightly at 80kph or above, the car moves slightly to the right. It's not very much but I can…

I recently bought a 2004 Peugeot 307sw, my first car and I know very little about car maintenance. It seems in good condition considering the age and mileage (about 110,000 miles).

Thanks!

Sometimes the deceleration causes inexperienced drivers to push down on one side of the steering wheel, making the car seem to pull to one side when it is actually OK. (In case of emergency this is one reason why you should always drive with both hands on the wheel)

Go somewhere safe like an empty car park and try braking with no hands on the wheel. (not too fast now!)

If it still pulls to one side go straight (but slowly and carefully) to a mechanic.
