2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · AY20 VMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in May 2026 at 62,639 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a reactive approach to consumable items. While the latest test passed without mechanical defects, the tester flagged the nearside front outer tyre as worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, suggesting that the owner defers tyre replacement until the MOT deadline or near-failure point. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. The car covered 12,506 miles between February 2023 and March 2024, showing a steady usage pattern. There are no significant gaps in testing intervals, though the brief failure in May 2025 at 57,143 miles highlights a structural failure in the nearside rear tyre caused by a nail. This issue was rectified quickly as the vehicle passed four days later, indicating an isolated incident rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2026 often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The windscreen should also be checked for the chip recorded in 2023 to ensure it has not propagated across the driver's field of vision. Since the record lacks recorded structural corrosion, brake binding, or exhaust issues, the primary focus should remain on the condition of the remaining tyres and the state of the braking components to ensure no hidden wear is developing.
