2002 SEAT Arosa 1.0L Petrol · CE52 KYS

The 2002 SEAT Arosa presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 51,165 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 24 January 2025 at 49,029 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 51,165 miles against 24 years of age, equating to roughly 2,132 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 46,728 miles on 24 January 2024, rising to 49,027 miles for the failed attempt on 22 January 2025, then 49,029 miles two days later, and 51,165 miles by January 2026. The two-day gap between failure and pass in January 2025, and again in January 2024, indicates the owner addressed the test refusal and retested immediately, though the records list no defects for those failures. Such low yearly coverage suggests long standing periods rather than sustained wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the age and likely dormancy of the car. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may have degraded through inactivity even without MOT advisories. The clean record offers no flagged recurring faults, yet the unexplained failures in January 2024 and January 2025 warrant verification that no concealed welding or exhaust emissions work was rushed before the pass.
