well the reason why i say that is because theres not really much on the back of a panda that can cause a knock. the only time i have come across a knock was when i found the exhaust hitting the leaf spring. try moving the exhaust about see if it knocks into anything with little movement.
check your shock absorbers.. give them a pull and tug, see if the bushes are still good.
ride the clutch and (hand)brake and see if you can replicate the sound while you have someone safely look under the car.
also check the leaf spring bushes/shackles.
like i say, theres not really many things that can knock :/
