2008 SEAT Altea Reference TDI 1.9L Diesel · KP08 WVJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 157,136 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful result in August 2024 at 151,168 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness over the last two years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age. Averaging approximately 8,730 miles per year, the usage pattern suggests typical domestic use rather than heavy long-distance commuting or excessive short-trip idling. A notable gap exists between the March 2023 failure at 148,054 miles and the subsequent pass, though the subsequent years show steady, predictable mileage increments. While the recent history shows no recurring mechanical or structural issues, the single failure in March 2023 indicates a minor setback that was resolved before the next annual test. Because the record is currently clean, there are no immediate red flags regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion. However, any buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables are not always captured in MOT advisories if they remain within legal limits.
