2018 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · CU18 UAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 61,137 miles passed with advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a history of deferred consumable replacements until they approach failure thresholds, mirroring similar issues seen in the November 2022 test. The recorded mileage of 61,137 miles over eight years reflects an average usage of approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical domestic use for this age. There is a consistent interval between tests, with a 11,585-mile gap between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,570 miles between October 2023 and July 2024. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can degrade rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system during a physical evaluation. The record notes a worn offside front suspension arm bush at 43,981 miles and fluctuating rear service brakes during the same period, coupled with a handbrake that barely met requirements at 34,618 miles. These recurring issues suggest the braking geometry and suspension components may be prone to premature wear. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2025 also warrants a professional wheel alignment check to prevent rapid degradation of new tyres.
