2022 SEAT Ateca 2.0L Diesel · YD22 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-30 at 23,349 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, a prior failure on 2025-06-26 at the same mileage suggests inconsistency in testing outcomes. The intervening test on 2025-05-29 at 23,026 miles also passed without defects, implying the failure may have been an isolated anomaly. Overall, the maintenance trend shows stability, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged in the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,349 miles over four years equates to approximately 5,837 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could reflect infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may affect component longevity. The MOT tests are spaced irregularly, with a four-day gap between the failure and subsequent pass at identical mileage, raising questions about the testing process. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as low mileage may mask dry joints or uneven wear. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs is reassuring, but visual checks for corrosion on brake discs and caliper binding are recommended. Structural integrity appears intact, with no rust or damage noted. The lack of advisories suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny of service history for potential unresolved issues.
