2021 SEAT TARRACO1.5L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT with a clean pass certificate from July 2025 at 24,768 miles, indicating no immediate defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only previously recorded issue—a rear brake pad wear advisory from the November 2024 test at 23,160 miles—was not repeated in the subsequent examination. This suggests the concern was either addressed by a previous owner or the measured thickness remained within acceptable limits at the later date, though the absence of a repair record means the intervention cannot be confirmed. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,954 miles annually. The recorded history shows a consistent, modest increase of 1,608 miles over the eight-month period between the two MOT tests, equating to about 200 miles per month. This pattern points to very light, possibly urban, use rather than prolonged standing, as the vehicle was presented for its annual test without significant gaps. Such low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components but does not preclude age-related deterioration in rubber seals, hoses, and brake system corrosion. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the rear braking system. The November 2024 advisory for thin rear brake pads is the sole recurring item in the history. Even though the July 2025 test passed, the prior warning necessitates verifying current rear pad and disc thickness, checking for uneven wear or binding, and assessing the condition of the rear brake calipers and guide pins. Beyond this, the clean MOT history suggests no underlying structural corrosion or suspension defects, but the low annual mileage warrants a general check for perished suspension bushes, tyre age cracks, and fluid condition, as components can degrade from lack of use as much as from use.
