2010 SEAT Altea 1.6L Diesel · KY60 AAV

The 2010 SEAT Altea presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 15 January 2025 at 121,246 miles resulting in a pass following an initial failure that recorded no defects. This pattern repeats the previous year, where the 18 January 2024 test at 116,132 miles also showed a fail immediately followed by a pass with no defects listed. The absence of any advisories or recorded faults across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 entries indicates no worsening mechanical trend, though the duplicated fail-pass entries on the same dates suggest administrative re-tests rather than genuine rectification of faults. Recorded mileage rose from 108,950 at the 11 May 2023 test to 116,132 by January 2024, then to 121,246 by January 2025. That equates to roughly 7,200 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle's 16-year lifespan and average use of about 7,578 miles annually. The sparse history, with only three test windows logged and no minor or major defects noted in any of them, gives little insight into consumable wear or owner care habits beyond confirmation the car was presented clean enough to pass. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be physically checked, since the Altea platform is prone to rust at sills and subframes by this age. Verify the 15 January 2025 fail with no defects was a paperwork or emissions retest, not a concealed fault cleared without record.
