1998 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Petrol · S804 DNH

The 1998 SEAT ALHAMBRA demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests from 2017 to 2021. The most recent test on 2021-09-21 at 141,639 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been well-preserved. However, the absence of MOT records post-2021 raises questions about its current condition, as the car has not been tested for over five years. The mileage of 141,639 miles over 28 years equates to approximately 5,059 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows gradual mileage increases, with consistent intervals between tests (roughly 3,000–3,500 miles per year). No abrupt spikes or extended gaps in recorded usage are evident, which reduces concerns about excessive wear on consumables. However, the low annual mileage could indicate underuse, potentially leading to component stiffness or fluid degradation if not regularly driven. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without active use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed due to the lack of recent MOT data, so a thorough visual assessment for rust, especially in underbody panels and door sills, is essential. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee fault-free operation, as MOT tests do not cover all mechanical systems.
