2019 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · DF68 PPY

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-23 recorded a pass with a note that the front brake disc was worn but not excessively. However, a prior failure on 2025-05-22 revealed multiple issues, including non-functional rear seat belt buckles, exposed ply in both front and rear tyres, and the same brake disc wear. These findings suggest inconsistent maintenance or recurring wear in critical safety components. A pattern of brake-related defects emerges, including thin front brake pads (2024), a fractured brake disc (2023), and repeated mentions of brake disc wear. Tyre issues, such as exposed ply, also appeared in 2025, indicating potential neglect or accelerated wear. While the 2025 pass suggests some resolution, the persistence of brake disc wear and tyre defects raises concerns about ongoing mechanical stress or insufficient repairs. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,813 miles over seven years aligns with average annual usage (approx. 10,688 miles). However, this figure alone does not clarify whether the car has experienced heavy use, frequent short trips, or periods of inactivity. The MOT history does not confirm extreme wear beyond standard depreciation, but recurring brake and tyre issues may signal higher-than-average stress on these components.
