Not cutting circles neatly

Advice needed again.
I noticed that circles on my machine don't cut nicely and seem to have an odd shape where the Y axis reverses direction - see attached pic.
The CRV file is just a test to return to X Y zero for a tool change and reset Z zero.

Oval circles like that can be caused by backlash. Most common cause is probably a loose grub screw in a flex coupling or drive pulley etc. in any event the cause is usually mechanical.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking that I might be that, good to get another opinion though.
Cheers
