2020 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · LM70 EFD

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following its most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025 at 31,483 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend as the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the owner has responded proactively to necessary mechanical repairs. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,247 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 18,693 miles and the October 2024 test at 26,737 miles, the car covered 8,044 miles. While low annual mileage typically reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can also lead to surface corrosion on metal components that are not frequently cleaned by heat or friction from regular use. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system during a physical inspection. Both the 2023 and 2024 tests flagged the rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored with slight corrosion. Although the 2025 test shows these were rectified, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing moisture to attack the rotors. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure no new pitting or uneven wear has returned.
