2020 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · KN70 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in basic maintenance standards. In the test conducted on 21 August 2025 at 33,429 miles, the car initially failed due to a structural failure in the offside front tyre. While it passed immediately following necessary rectifications, the presence of multiple advisories regarding tyre perishing and worn brake components suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance compared to the previous clean records. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows a consistent interval between August 2023 at 16,150 miles and August 2024 at 21,882 miles, where no defects were recorded. However, the jump of 11,547 miles recorded in the year leading up to the 2025 test indicates a significant increase in usage, which likely correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake-related wear observed despite the low total odometer reading. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all tyres, as the 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside side alongside a structural lump on the offside. This often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The nearside front brake disc was noted as worn during the latest test, so the remaining thickness of the pads and discs should be measured to ensure they are not nearing replacement. While no structural or major mechanical failures appear in the history, the focus should remain on these consumables and the effects of age on low-mileage rubber components.
