2020 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · AF70 OAZ

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, showing a trend of passing tests without any recorded defects in the last two years. While the 2023 test on 02 October included advisories regarding cuts to both the offside front and nearside rear tyres, these issues were resolved or monitored, as evidenced by the subsequent clean passes in 2024, 2025, and the most recent successful test on 19 March 2026. This trajectory indicates that the vehicle has maintained its required standard of roadworthiness through its most recent inspections. The recorded mileage of 37,958 miles over approximately six years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,326 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age and suggests a profile of lighter, perhaps more urban or short-distance driving, rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Mechanically, this lower mileage often correlates with less cumulative wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, though it is important to note that lower annual distances can sometimes result in less frequent cleaning of brake discs or less regular operation of certain engine components. Given the specific advisories recorded in 2023, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyre sidewalls during a physical inspection. While the most recent MOT shows no such defects, you should look for any signs of bulging, cracking, or previous repairs on the sidewalls of the front and rear tyres. During a test drive, listen for any irregular rhythmic thumping or humming noises that might indicate uneven tread wear or internal tyre damage, and ensure the steering feels straight and does not pull to either side, which would suggest that any previous tyre issues or alignment changes have been addressed. Beyond the tyre history, the lack of recorded advisories for suspension components, brake pipes, or structural corrosion is a notable aspect of the recent documentation. On your test drive, pay close attention to the vehicle's response to road imperfections; listen for any knocks, clunks, or creaks from the suspension when driving over bumps, which could indicate wear in the bushes or coil springs. Additionally, test the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or vibration through the pedal, ensuring the braking is progressive and the vehicle tracks straight under heavy deceleration.
