2018 SEAT Ateca 1.0L Petrol · FA18 ADO

The 2018 SEAT ATECA passed its most recent MOT on 8 May 2026 at 72,060 miles with zero defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is improving, as the only advisory across the entire six-test history appeared in the May 2024 test at 51,991 miles where the tester recorded front brake pads getting low. By the May 2025 test at 62,823 miles and the May 2026 test at 72,060 miles, no brake defects appeared, indicating previous owners replaced the pads and no further brake issues have surfaced. The record shows five consecutive passes with no failures across six years, reflecting consistent servicing by previous owners. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The car covered roughly 9,884 miles in the year to May 2022, 10,310 miles to May 2023, 10,694 miles to May 2024, 10,832 miles to May 2025, and 9,237 miles to May 2026. The slight dip in the final year remains within normal bounds and does not suggest prolonged storage or unusually light use. No anomalous gaps or sudden mileage jumps appear in the record, and the odometer progression across all six tests shows a steady, uninterrupted pattern consistent with regular daily driving. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs and pads in person, given the 2024 advisory on pad wear, even though subsequent tests show no recurrence. The absence of structural advisories, corrosion flags, or suspension-related defects across all six tests suggests the chassis and underbody remain sound, though a physical check for rust around the sills and wheel arches is still advisable on a seven-year-old vehicle. The consistent pass record with no emissions faults indicates the engine and exhaust system have been maintained properly, and the tester flagged no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or tyre irregularities at any point in the history.
