Default Shudder under braking

On a road trip to south of France last year I experienced a shudder under braking.which got checked out when I got home but LR could not replicate it so did nothing. It didn’t happen again until now when on a similar trip ( 4pp plus luggage) same thing has happened again but worse.. I had a full 20k mls service just before we left so all the obvious things should have been checked.. any one experienced the same..?

Can you describe the shudder in any more detail? Did you feel it in the brake pedal? Steering wheel? Does the frequency of the shudder vary based on speed or engine rpm? Were you braking hard when it happened? I had an issue the first time I drove my 2021 110, where a shudder developed within the first 10 miles of driving it, and got worse as the miles went on. Felt it in the brake pedal as well. The exact symptoms you'd expect from a warped rotor. Well, turns out it was (sort of). There's a service bulletin about this, that some of their cars develop this condition because of a defective brake rotor coating. Doesn't really sound like what's happening to you, since you've got plenty of miles on yours, but worth mentioning.
