2021 SEAT Arona Xperience Ecotsi 1.0L Petrol · KM71 EPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 30, 2025. However, the recent maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern regarding the braking system. The car failed a test just six days prior to the successful result at 11,702 miles due to a damaged nearside front tyre and scored brake discs. While the immediate faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of the disc issues suggests a lack of proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,345 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 9,215 miles and the October 2025 test at 11,726 miles, the car covered only 2,511 miles. While low mileage often implies less wear on drivetrain components, it frequently leads to surface corrosion on brake components due to lack of use, which aligns with the pitted and scored discs recorded across multiple MOT tests. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking assembly and tyre condition. The MOT record notes pitting and scoring on the offside rear disc in 2024, which expanded to all discs by 2025. This indicates the brake calipers may be seizing or the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, allowing rust to degrade the rotors. The failure for a sidewall cut reaching the cords further suggests the previous owner ignored basic consumable safety checks until forced by the MOT test.
