Our Verdict
Highly recommend considering this SEAT Taraco due to its exceptionally low mileage and remarkably clean recent MOT record. It represents a solid choice for those seeking a large diesel SUV with minimal wear.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the service history aligns with the low mileage, as the car has averaged roughly 8,000 miles per year. Given it is a diesel-engine SUV, pay close attention to whether it has been used on motorways to ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) remains clear. Check for any signs of wear on the interior seats and pedals that might contradict the low odometer reading.
Negotiate based on the 2023 MOT failure; although it passed again shortly after, ask what the specific failure point was to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical issue. Since the vehicle is relatively young, also check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common points of failure for this model across the aggregate data.
The 1968cc diesel engine is generally efficient for long-distance driving, though the size of the Taraco means higher fuel consumption than smaller family cars. Expect a mid-range tax band and insurance group typical for a large 7-seater diesel.
Annual maintenance costs for this model are standard for the SUV segment, though parts like tyres and brakes can be more expensive. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to fall between £1,800 and £2,400.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and brakes, as aggregate data identifies these as the most common reasons for MOT failures on this model. While this specific vehicle had no recorded defects in its most recent 2025 test, you should still check for uneven tyre wear or thin brake pads in person.
Investigate the 2023 MOT failure at 25,553 miles; even though the record does not specify the defect, knowing if it was a minor lighting issue or a more significant component is vital. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, as 'engine oil inoperative' is a noted failure reason in model-wide data.
This 2019 SEAT Taraco has covered just 39,622 miles, which is significantly below the fleet average of approximately 57,000 miles for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes, with only one failure in 2023 that was rectified immediately. Presented in white with the 2.0-litre diesel engine, it appears to have been used sparingly, reflecting the lack of recorded defects in recent tests.
The SEAT Taraco generally shows an MOT pass rate of 87.7%, with owners should monitor brake components and engine-related sensors.
