2023 SEAT Arona Xperience LUX Ecotsi 1.0L Petrol · CU72 UNL

The most recent MOT from January 2026 shows a pass, but it highlights immediate concerns regarding the front tyres. Both the nearside and offside front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, with the offside tyre specifically showing uneven wear on the inner edge. This pattern suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. While the vehicle has a very clean MOT history otherwise, the presence of uneven wear is a specific mechanical red flag that indicates the car may be pulling to one side or that components like bushes or tracking are out of specification. The mileage of 26,623 over approximately three years averages out to about 8,874 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the wear on the tyres is consistent with normal driving rather than extreme neglect or excessive high-speed motorway use. The condition trend appears to be transitioning from a clean history into a period requiring maintenance. While the car passed, the tyre condition is a clear sign that consumables are reaching the end of their life and that a mechanical adjustment is likely necessary. Before purchasing, you must inspect the tyre tread depth across all four wheels and check for any signs of unevenness on the rear tyres. Most importantly, request a test drive to check for any pulling or steering instability, and ask if a professional four-wheel alignment has been performed recently.
