2002 SEAT Alhambra 1.9L Diesel · AF52 UWB

The SEAT Alhambra passed its most recent MOT on 12 March 2022 at 186,552 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the time of that test. However, the absence of any MOT data between March 2022 and today, 8 July 2026, leaves the current roadworthiness unverified for over four years. The vehicle is now overdue a test and cannot be legally driven on public roads without one. The recorded mileage of 186,552 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 7,773 miles per year across the car's 24-year life, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The single clean MOT entry provides no evidence of rapid accumulation or extended periods off the road, but the four-year silence since means we cannot track wear on consumables or mechanical parts during that gap. A previous owner clearly presented the car in passable condition in 2022, yet the lack of subsequent records suggests it may have been laid up or used sparingly without formal inspection. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before any purchase. With no advisories logged in 2022, the record offers no flagged concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. Still, at 24 years old and 186,552 miles, expect age-related degradation: check for perished rubber components, binding calipers, exhaust emissions compliance, and underbody rust on the Alhambra's floorpan and sills. Given the elapsed time, treat the 2022 pass as historical only. Verify the odometer reading matches the logbook, confirm the engine starts cleanly, and inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged standing. The sparse history demands caution rather than assumption of continued good order.
