2020 SEAT ATECA1.5L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding tyre condition. In the most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 10,140 miles, the car passed with advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures, the progression from a clean record in 2023 to consumable wear indicates a need for proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,690 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 6,508 miles and July 2024 at 8,595 miles, the car covered only over 2,000 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, which often correlates with the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance, as seen in the 2024 report flagging perishing and cracking. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the recurring perishing and cracking noted in 2024 suggest the rubber compound is aging despite the low tread depth. The low mileage also increases the risk of brake corrosion or flat-spotting; you should check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to inactivity. Since no structural issues or suspension defects were raised, the primary focus should remain on the age-related components and the state of the fluids.
