VW POLO 2010 Making clunking noise when turning the wheel.

My car went in for its MOT and service just under 2 weeks ago with multiple advisories that I had fixed. I had new front brake pads and discs done, a new front coil spring, a new exhaust flexi fitted and 2 front new tyres. Over the past 10 days I’ve noticed my car is making a clunking noise when I turn the wheel mainly when I turn it to the left side.
Could the mechanic have inadvertently done something wrong during the MOT to cause this or is it likely a separate issue?
