2018 SEAT MII 1.0L Petrol · FB18 BAA

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT test on 27 July 2026 at 40,437 miles indicates the onset of minor wear-related issues. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged a worn nearside front inner suspension arm bush and a parking brake lever with high travel. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, mechanical components are beginning to show age-related degradation that was not present during the clean 2025 test at 31,220 miles. The mileage accumulation is relatively low for an 8-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,055 miles per year. The record shows a consistent upward trend in usage, moving from 4,817 miles in July 2021 to the current 40,437 miles. The jump between the 2025 and 2026 tests represents a significant increase of 9,217 miles in a single year, which is nearly double the previous annual average. This sudden increase in usage likely accelerated the wear noted in the suspension and braking components during the latest inspection. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension assembly to ensure the nearside bush does not require immediate replacement. The advisory regarding the parking brake lever suggests the mechanism may require adjustment or a new cable to ensure reliable operation. Additionally, the 2024 failure involving inner tyre wear indicates a potential alignment issue that should be verified. Checking the current condition of the tyres and ensuring the wheel alignment is correct will prevent premature replacement of consumables.
