2012 SEAT Altea 1.6L Diesel · AV12 CZX

The 2012 SEAT ALTEA demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 129,752 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-12-04 and 2023-12-07 also showed passes, though a duplicate entry for 2024-12-04 lists both a pass and failure without defects, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. No recurring mechanical issues or advisories are flagged in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage, and the absence of critical failures implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. Mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 112,377 miles in 2022, rising to 129,752 by 2026—a steady 9,268 miles annually. Notable gaps between tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2023-12-07 and 2024-12-04, do not raise immediate concerns, as the record remains largely uncluttered. The lack of defects in all tests suggests no systemic wear, though the high mileage at 129,752 miles warrants scrutiny of components prone to aging, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust, and verify the condition of brake discs, calipers, and tyres, as these are common wear items not fully captured in MOT data. The absence of advisories on suspension or structural integrity is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the state of the exhaust system and check for binding calipers, which could indicate overdue servicing. The MOT history reflects a mechanically sound vehicle, but physical examination remains essential to validate the record’s completeness.
