When I brake, there's a bit of a wobble on the steering wheel!
Would this be warped front disks?

i always thought warped disks gave the brake pedal movement up and down

+1 its usually the pedal movement that indicates worn discs. Wobbly steering wheels sounds like play somewhere

Steering feels fine without any issues until I brake! Brake pedal doesn't feel any different ie no pulsing or movement, to my other car! My car has done 96k but I have have just taken a front wheel off to look at the disk on the near side! It's hardly worn but there seems to be Chinese lettering on it! I can't really make out the manufacturer but it something like Chang Hin Manu!

maybe not but you can feel play in the rest of the steering by doing so

if you see that the discs are worn anyway replace them, clean the calipers/check springs and pistons and go from there IMO...as that vibration can come from the discs cos as they are ventilated they wear out harder between the 'backings' creating a king of ripples which will not act in both wheels at the same time in parallel and would induce a vibration in the steering wheel...as i said happened to me and new discs sorted it...which doesnt mean it's your problem too of course...just that could be
