2022 SEAT Ateca FR Sport TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · GJ22 VWL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recent shift toward deferred consumable maintenance. The most recent test on March 11 2026 at 35,873 miles passed, but revealed advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This suggests that while the owner meets the minimum legal requirements, they are waiting until components are near-failure before replacing them. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 26,917 miles and the March 2026 test, the car covered 8,956 miles in eleven months. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like brake seals and suspension bushings to prevent the corrosion or seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the offside front shock absorber which was flagged for light oil misting in April 2025 at 26,917 miles. While misting is not an immediate failure, it indicates the beginning of seal degradation and requires monitoring for more significant leaks. Furthermore, the uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres in the 2026 test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that should be verified to prevent premature wear on any new set of tyres.
