2021 SEAT Arona FR Ecotsi 1.0L Petrol · G6 DBL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-06-25 at 31,765 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend in the final year. However, the preceding history reveals a pattern of recurring brake disc issues, particularly on the offside rear, where pitting and corrosion were noted in June 2024. While the latest test showed no defects, the 2025 and 2024 records highlight consistent wear across all brake discs, suggesting either deferred servicing or a tendency toward uneven pad/disc contact. The headlamp aim failures in 2024—now resolved—point to a minor but avoidable oversight in alignment or bulb adjustment. The recorded mileage of 31,765 miles over five years aligns with typical usage patterns, averaging around 6,350 miles annually without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The most notable gap is between the 2025 and 2026 tests, where the vehicle accumulated 4,057 miles in just over a year, a rate that could accelerate wear on consumables like brake pads and tyres. There is no evidence of excessive standing time or aggressive driving, but the steady mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than stored. A prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the brake system, particularly the offside rear discs for signs of pitting or corrosion progression since the last test. The 2024 failures also imply the front headlamp aim may require rechecking, though this appears to have been rectified. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for wear, as these are not directly recorded but often correlate with brake disc degradation. Corrosion around wheel arches and underbody should be assessed, especially given the offside rear disc’s past issues, which may indicate exposure to moisture or road salt. Tyre tread depth and uniformity warrant immediate verification, as the 2025 advisory on all discs suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent.
