2017 SEAT Ateca 1.4L Petrol · WU67 AAV

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the September 2025 MOT at 43,933 miles, passing the test despite a note that the near‑side and off‑side front brake discs are worn, pitted or scored, though not yet critically weakened. Earlier examinations show a single advisory for thin rear brake pads in September 2022 and tyre surface damage flagged in September 2023, with no recurrence of structural defects. The pattern suggests a stable maintenance trajectory, with wear confined to consumables that have been addressed or are approaching normal service limits. Mileage has risen from 21,403 miles in October 2020 to 43,933 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per annum. The incremental increases align closely with each annual test, indicating consistent, moderate use rather than periods of idling or abrupt mileage spikes. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the low overall mileage for a nine‑year‑old SEAT Ateca points to relatively light duty, which generally reduces the likelihood of accelerated component fatigue. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front brake discs, confirming that scoring has not progressed to a thickness below the minimum legal limit and that replacement is not imminent. Inspection of the rear brake pads is advisable, as the 2022 advisory may indicate lingering wear. All four tyres should be examined for cracking, sidewall damage, or uneven tread wear, given the 2023 advisories. A visual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on chassis or exhaust components will help verify that no hidden deterioration has arisen since the last test. Confirm that the front registration plate is securely mounted and legible, as noted in 2024, and ensure that any items previously removed from the driver’s view are correctly reinstated. With these checks, the car should present a reliable purchase.
