2006 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · DG06 AFX

The vehicle is currently not in a verified roadworthy state as the last MOT test occurred on 7 June 2023. This leaves a gap of over three years since the last official inspection. While the 2023 test at 176,552 miles was a clean pass with no defects or advisories, the lack of recent data makes it impossible to confirm the current mechanical condition of the car. The mileage pattern is remarkably static. The car covered only 833 miles between the November 2021 test at 175,719 miles and the June 2023 test at 176,552 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been stationary or used very sparingly for several years. A car of this age that sits idle often develops secondary issues such as seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and battery degradation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Although the MOT record shows no historical failures for corrosion or structural integrity, a 2006 model is highly susceptible to rust in the sills and floor pans, especially if left unused in damp conditions. The lack of recorded advisories over the last few tests is positive, but it does not negate the risks associated with long-term dormancy. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the braking system is not binding. The failure on 16 November 2021, followed by a pass nine days later, indicates a quick rectification of an unspecified fault. Given the high overall mileage of 176,552, the drivetrain and suspension bushes should be scrutinized for wear that may have developed since the 2023 inspection.
