If you are saying when you move with your wheel locked to far right or left, it makes clicking sound,
Do this:
With your car in parked position, turn your wheel all the way to the right. Then get out of your car and look at your left front wheel. If you look BEHIND the rim, you'll notice there is a rod connected to the center of the wheel behind the brake assembly and there is a black (usually) rubber boots. There are two boots about a foot or so apart. See if it is torn and have thick oil all over it. Do the same thing to the other wheel with your steerling wheel turned all the way to left.
It is the CV joint and it is known to happen at HIGH MILEAGE.
If you are saying you can hear the sound without your car in motion, then it is probably the steering assembly. It is so unusual that any of this happen at such a low mileage. You can probably ask for "goodwill" repair at the dealer....

Drive shaft is damaged causing it to knock. Can go another 100,000 miles like that but it's not that hard to repair. Leave it til next MOT and they'll do it for you. If you take it rallying every day you may want it fixed now but on ordinary driving it will probably out-last the car like that.

Sounds like the CV joint or a control arm. Not a big deal, around 150 to replace a cv joint, or 300 for the control arm.

I guarantee it's your CV joint It should NOT have failed after that few miles unless your boots split. Check if the car has any warranty as it may be covered

you will never be able to get that answer on here! It may be catching on some plastic or have a power steering fault!
Take it to the dealer as its probably still under warranty
