    Clean brakes out then check
    I'd remove calipers if it still does it to test the bearings .

    Check bearings, grease axle, make sure calipers are clean

    Probably the discs dragging slightly ... if they are clean, i.e. no light corrosion from sitting damp then the pistons are probably sticking in the calipers slightly.
