2015 SEAT MII 1.0L Petrol · FJ15 LLE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of neglected consumable items and reactive repairs. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 96,745 miles, the car passed despite advisories for a cracked fuel cap seal and fluctuating front service brakes. While the vehicle is passing its inspections, the recurring nature of tyre and wiper related issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults once an MOT tester identifies a potential failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on the vehicle's wear-parts. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year over the eleven-year period. There is a gap of 14,597 miles between the July 2024 test at 81,748 miles and the July 2025 test at 96,745 miles, indicating regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. This typical usage for a small city car places consistent stress on rubber components and braking systems, which aligns with the repeated mechanical failures noted across the inspection history. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and artwork alignment, as the record shows multiple instances of tyres being worn on the edges across 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. This persistent issue indicates a likely misalignment or worn suspension bushes that have not been professionally rectified. Furthermore, the report of fluctuating front service brakes in 2025, combined with the pitted inner brake discs noted in 2023, suggests the braking system is thinning or suffering from corrosion and may require immediate replacement of discs and pads to ensure safe stopping.
