In my experience, clonking over bumps is almost always the drop links, these are the the things, connecting the anti roll bar to the rear lower arm, this is what they look like, and this is their placement on the car, and before the eagle eyed amongst you spot it, yes the upper rubbers on mine are absolutely terrible, I have new ones on their way.

I've owned 3 x40's and the 1st two had this at the front and the latest has recently started making similar sounds from the rear.

The anti roll bar bushes are always worth checking, you'll also get a clunk with worn control arm bushes as well, but you can normally feel a sort of shuddering over bumps as well if it's control arms, my SE had completely dead control arm bushes, no idea if it was just missed or what, but it passed an MOT early on in my ownership like and had always made the same noise, so presumably they were well had it when I got the car, it did feather the rear tyres quite a bit though, that was probably why.
