2017 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · CY66 AEJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2025 at 68,960 miles shows the car passed with no defects or advisories. This lack of recorded faults across the last five years indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a test failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 23,036 miles and the 2025 test at 68,960 miles, the vehicle covered 45,924 miles, showing a steady and predictable progression. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of stagnation that might suggest neglect or tampering. The low mileage for a nine-year-old vehicle reduces the expected wear on drivetrain components, turbocharger, and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage examples. Since the MOT record shows no recurring issues such as weeping shock absorbers or brake corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that an MOT does not capture. Check the condition of the tyres for depth and uneven wear and verify that the brake pads and discs have sufficient thickness. Given the age of the vehicle, you should also inspect rubber components and suspension arm bushes for cracking, as these parts can degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
