2004 SEAT Alhambra 1.9L Diesel · AD53 GOP

The SEAT Alhambra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 December 2024 at 174,525 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring defect cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 174,525 against a 22-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,933 miles per year which is typical for the age. The test on 6 December 2023 at 164,342 miles passed cleanly, though a failed attempt on 1 December 2023 at identical mileage shows a same-week retest with no defects listed either time, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. From 151,701 miles in February 2022 to 157,356 in January 2023 and onward, accumulation is steady at around 6,000 to 10,000 miles annually with no abrupt jumps. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion in the record, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's 2004 build and high total mileage. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no insight into consumable condition between tests. A pre-purchase check should prioritise brake caliper operation, exhaust emissions under load, and tyre sidewall degradation. The sparse five-entry history leaves long gaps unverified before 2022, so mechanical wear on drivetrain components cannot be excluded from the record alone.
