2016 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · FV66 AAK

The SEAT AteCA presents as roadworthy following its most recent October 2025 pass at 62,254 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA data shows clean passes in 2024 and 2023 alongside the 2025 result, indicating no outstanding advisories or defects were logged by testers. A buyer should note the October 2025 test recorded both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects cited; this suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, but warrants confirmation of the current certificate status. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 6,225 miles since the car's 2016 registration, sitting within typical bounds for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record jumps from 49,432 miles at the October 2023 test to 55,952 miles in October 2024, then to 62,254 miles by October 2025, equating to about 6,500 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation spikes. The history is sparse, showing only five entries across three years, and the clean sheets with zero advisories imply either light use or diligent pre-test preparation by prior keepers. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry, so no recurring mechanical trend emerges from the data. The same-day fail-pass at 62,254 miles with no defects recorded leaves the reason undocumented; a buyer must verify the V5C and MOT certificate to rule out a data error. Given the low annual use, inspect for perished rubber components and standing-water corrosion on brake lines during a physical viewing, as these faults need road time to manifest and may evade a static test.
