2019 SEAT Tarraco 2.0L Diesel · GE08 BEC

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-04 recorded a pass at 59,983 miles. However, the inspection was limited by the nearside rear child seat obstructing full access to the adult belt. This issue has appeared in multiple MOTs, including the 2024-12-06 record, where both nearside and offside rear child seats prevented proper belt inspections. The recurring nature of this problem suggests ongoing use of child seats that may compromise safety checks. A failed MOT on 2024-12-06 at 49,901 miles included a nearside front headlamp aim too high (defect code 4.1.2 (a)), which is a safety risk. This defect was not addressed in the subsequent pass on 2025-12-04, raising questions about whether the issue was resolved. The same child seat obstruction persisted, indicating a pattern of incomplete inspections. The trend shows stability in major defects, with no new safety-critical issues since 2023. However, the repeated child seat-related inspection limitations and the unresolved headlamp defect suggest potential neglect in addressing minor but recurring problems. The vehicle’s mileage (59,983 miles over 7 years) aligns with average usage, implying neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use.
