2017 SEAT MII 1.0L Petrol · PE67 KXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 92,727 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of documented neglect in late 2024. While the car failed its previous test due to multiple lighting and suspension-related issues, the clean sheet from the most recent inspection indicates that the owner addressed the primary mechanical and safety concerns identified during the year prior. At 92,727 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a city car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 17,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 12,700 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 records flagged both offside and nearside front suspension arm pins and bushes. Although these were rectified, the recurring nature of wear on these components suggests potential stress or previous poor alignment issues. The buyer should also verify the resolution of the fluid leak noted in 2024. While described as non-excessive at the time, persistent leaks in small engines require close monitoring to ensure they do not escalate into component failure. The braking history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with thin pads and worn discs noted in 2023 and tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2022 and 2024. The buyer must check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not again nearing the point of failure. Given the history of windscreen damage and lighting aim issues, a quick check of the glass for new cracks and the alignment of headlamps is necessary to confirm the vehicle remains up to standard.
