SEAT ARONA2018 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing suspension-related wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 71,823 miles resulted in a pass but highlighted an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that has not been addressed, following a history of front-end component degradation noted in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 53,988 miles and November 2025 at 71,823 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles, representing a steady usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the mileage data that suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of suspension-related faults suggests the vehicle may be subjected to road conditions that wear out bushes and joints. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2024 test at 64,253 miles flagged worn arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front arms, while the 2023 failure for a damaged track rod end dust cover confirms a recurring issue with the steering and suspension components. You should check for further cracking in rubber boots and play in the ball joints. Additionally, the uneven wear on the offside front tyre necessitates a professional wheel alignment check to prevent premature failure of new rubber.
