SEAT CORDOBA2000 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile due to a complete lack of MOT data for the last thirteen years. The most recent recorded test in June 2013 at 102,885 miles showed a failure for minor lighting issues and body damage, which were rectified to allow passing. Since no tests have been logged since 2013, the current mechanical and structural integrity is entirely unknown, and the maintenance trend cannot be established as stable or improving. The vehicle has bypassed official safety inspections for over a decade. The recorded mileage of 102,885 miles over 26 years reflects a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,000 miles. However, the data shows a significant gap in activity. Between April 2011 and 2013, the car covered roughly 13,600 miles, but there has been no recorded mileage since the 2013 test. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished brake lines, seized calipers, and dry seals, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically focusing on the nearside front wing and wheel arches where rust was previously noted in 2012 and 2013. The exhaust system requires close scrutiny as it suffered from major leaks and corrosion in 2011, which likely have worsened if not replaced. Given the age and the lapse in testing, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking, alongside a check for perished tyres that may have suffered flat spotting despite having remaining tread.
