2022 SEAT Tarraco 1.5L Petrol · GV22 FVR

A pattern of recurring minor defects and lighting failures defines the recent history of this vehicle, which ultimately achieved a pass on 2026-07-01 following two failures in June and July 2026. The record shows a persistent trend of issues with the windscreen and nearside mirror casing, alongside recent failures for headlamp aim and position lamp intensity. While the most recent test was successful, the frequency of these minor faults indicates a vehicle that has encountered various small-scale external impacts and electrical lighting discrepancies. The recorded mileage of 54,191 miles is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,548 miles per year. This level of usage typically results in accelerated wear on high-friction consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. The consistent annual testing interval indicates the vehicle has remained in active use, but the high accumulation rate places greater emphasis on the current state of wear-and-tear items. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and tyre condition, following advisories from June 2025 regarding thin front brake pads and a brake hydraulic reservoir close to the minimum mark. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or a lack of immediate bite, which could indicate worn pads. The nearside rear tyre was previously flagged for a cut, so a physical inspection of the sidewall is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the casing remains intact and that the cut has not deepened. The recurring mentions of a windscreen chip and damaged nearside mirror casing, along with a missing nearside front wheel arch cover, indicate a history of minor exterior damage. While these are largely cosmetic, the windscreen should be checked for any spreading cracks that could compromise visibility. Given the recent failures regarding headlamp aim and position lamp intensity, a full functional check of all external lighting is required to ensure the current settings are correct and that no bulbs are flickering or dimmed.
