2019 SEAT Tarraco 2.0L Diesel · SA69 XDV

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-15 revealed multiple issues, including light oil misting on nearside front shock absorbers, worn and pitted rear brake discs, and uneven tyre wear across all four tyres. The nearside front tyre had a shallow cut, while rear tyres showed cracking or perishing. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for suspension and braking components. Recurring issues include brake pad wear (noted in 2022) and tyre irregularities (since 2024). The progression from thin brake pads in 2022 to worn brake discs in 2025 indicates potential neglect or accelerated wear. Tyre damage and uneven tread wear also persist, raising concerns about alignment, suspension geometry, or driving habits. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,187 miles over seven years equates to roughly 4,741 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to issues like tyre perishing, fluid degradation, or corrosion. However, the absence of major mechanical failures in earlier MOTs suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained overall. The trend shows some worsening, particularly with brake disc wear and persistent tyre problems, but no critical safety risks were flagged in the latest test.
