2018 SEAT Arona 1.0L Petrol · SW68 EAY

The vehicle maintains a consistent record of roadworthiness, having passed every annual inspection since its first test. The most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 41,336 miles confirms the car remains in a functional state, though the recurring advisories regarding the rear brake discs indicate a trend of surface degradation that warrants attention. While the structural and mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears stable, these brake-related advisories suggest that the rear braking components are failing to clear surface corrosion through regular, heavy use. With a total of 41,336 miles over eight years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,167 miles annually, which is well below the national average for a car of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained remarkably steady throughout its life, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of neglect. This consistent usage pattern typically points to a vehicle that has seen regular, short-distance trips, which aligns with the observed wear on the rear brake discs caused by infrequent or light braking application. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake discs and pads, as the same pitting and scoring were flagged in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. While these components are currently within acceptable safety limits, they will likely require replacement in the near future to restore optimal braking performance. Aside from this specific consumable wear, the absence of any other advisories or failures across five years of testing suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided significant suspension or structural issues.
