I had the same issue on mine once upon a time,, but it looks as if you have already tried the obvious,, wheel balancing. The two front wheels on mine were found to be out of shape rather than out of balance.

I have the same issue on my 61 plate, it wobbles on the same piece of road at 50 to 60 only. I think in my case it’s the tyres getting flat spots after being sat. This particular piece of road is about 1/4 mile from my house and it’s where I get my speed up for work. After this, the wobble is gone. If I drive down the same road any time during the rest of the day, no wobble!! 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Re. flatspotting, I have soft tyres on and in the heat it's even worse, 5-7 miles and it goes away. (New tyres soon) |

Could be front brake discs. The L320 is very sensitive to anything not quite right at the front end. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

In my case it doesn’t happen under braking. I had warped discs on my old focus and it was like firing a machine gun everytime I tried to stop. I swore I’d never fit Mintex again after that. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

A slightly warped or buckled wheel could cause the same issue. |
