2018 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · LB18 ACX

The vehicle passes its most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 54,874 miles, confirming roadworthiness at that date. The tester noted front and rear brake disc wear and a slight casing damage to the off‑side front mirror, both classified as advisory items rather than failures. No new major faults have appeared since the 2022 failure, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Across eight years the odometer shows 54,874 miles, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year – a typical usage pattern for a car of this age. Mileage rose from 39,936 miles in February 2025 to 54,874 miles by March 2026, a jump of about 15,000 miles in twelve months, suggesting a period of increased use. Earlier intervals display steadier increments, and the record contains no long gaps that would imply extended storage. Repeated tyre cracking entries from the 2023 test, together with a front tyre tread depth of approximately 2 mm at that time, point to imminent tyre replacement. The 2023 front brake pad wear and the recurring brake disc advisories (2022 rear disc, 2026 front and rear discs) merit a fresh measurement of disc thickness and a visual inspection for scoring. The minor mirror casing damage should be inspected for any impact on visibility, and the headlamp aim, which failed in July 2022, must be checked for correct alignment. Although the MOT never flagged suspension components, the vehicle’s eight‑year age justifies a tactile check of suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of corrosion on chassis members. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the tyres, confirm brake disc and pad health, ensure headlamp alignment, and perform a general inspection of suspension and structural rust. Addressing these points will confirm that the car remains fit for continued use.
