2019 SEAT Tarraco 2.0L Diesel · YE69 KLP

The 2019 SEAT Tarraco presents a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 53,295 miles returned a completely clean pass with zero defects, advisories, or fails. This is a marked improvement over the 2023 test at 20,239 miles, where the tester flagged a nail in the nearside rear tyre, perishing on both rear tyres, and a child seat obstructing the offside rear seatbelt inspection. The fact that these tyre-related issues have not recurred suggests the previous owner addressed the rubber and removed the child seat, indicating responsive rather than neglectful ownership. The mileage accumulation pattern is consistent and unremarkable. From the first recorded test on 19 October 2022 at 11,874 miles through to the latest on 13 November 2025 at 53,295 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 41,421 miles over 3.1 years, averaging roughly 13,362 miles annually during that window. The overall lifetime average sits closer to 7,614 miles per year, implying the vehicle saw lighter use in its earliest years before the pace picked up. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record; the odometer progression aligns naturally with the test dates. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should still conduct a focused physical inspection. The 2023 advisory regarding perishing on both rear tyres warrants checking the date codes and sidewall condition of the current set, especially if the rubber has aged since the November 2025 test. The previous seatbelt inspection restriction also means the offside rear belt should be fully withdrawn and checked for fraying or slow retraction. Given the vehicle sits on a platform prone to rear suspension bush wear at this mileage, listen for clunks over speed bumps and inspect the rear subframe and trailing arms for corrosion, particularly around the mounting points. A brief road test should confirm the rear brakes are not binding, as the 2023 tyre damage could have been accompanied by uneven wear indicative of caliper drag.
