2019 SEAT Tarraco 2.0L Diesel · HF69 UHC

Persistent tyre wear at the legal limit dominates the MOT record, with front and rear tyres repeatedly flagged for edge‑wear across three consecutive years and a single failure for the Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp in 2025. Apart from that SRS fault, the car has consistently passed its annual tests, most recently on 30 April 2026 with no defects recorded, indicating that no new major issues have emerged since the tyre advisories were noted. At 40 959 mi after just over seven years of age the vehicle averages roughly 5 800 mi per annum, well below the typical UK usage pattern for a family SUV. The low annual mileage suggests relatively light duty, which aligns with the absence of wear‑related failures beyond the tyre advisories. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing, and the duplicate entry for April 2025 likely reflects an initial failure followed by a remedial pass, confirming that any identified fault was addressed promptly. Prospective buyers should inspect all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall integrity and uniformity of wear; uneven edge wear can point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or damaged steering components. During a test drive listen for tyre squeal or vibration at speeds above 50 mph, and feel for any pull to one side when the steering wheel is centred, which would warrant a professional alignment and a check of the front suspension arms, ball joints and tyre pressures. The 2023 advisory about thin front brake pads also warrants a visual inspection of pad thickness and disc condition; a pedal that feels spongy, judders under braking or produces squealing noises could indicate that the pads are now below the safe limit and need replacement. The SRS warning lamp failure recorded in 2025 must be verified as fully rectified; ensure the dashboard indicator is extinguished and request confirmation that the airbag control unit was tested after repair. While the MOT does not record any further airbag issues, a functional check of the passenger‑side airbag and a diagnostic scan for any lingering fault codes are prudent. Finally, the child‑seat advisory from 2022 does not affect roadworthiness but reminds the buyer to confirm that adult seat‑belt operation is unobstructed and that the rear seats can accommodate adult restraints without interference.
