2010 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · BD60 KXE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2024 at 149,245 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of passes suggests that the previous owners maintained basic mechanical and safety standards, as the tester did not flag any common failure points or structural weaknesses across multiple annual tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between February 2020 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 28,193 miles, showing a steady accumulation rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy strain. The gap between the 2023 test at 141,457 miles and the 2024 test at 149,245 miles represents a standard annual interval. This regularity indicates the car has been used consistently, which often helps prevent the seizing of seals and corrosion of components frequently seen in lower-mileage, stationary vehicles. While the digital record is faultless, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a 149,000-mile MPV. The buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes and control arms for perished rubber, as these often degrade over time before triggering an MOT failure. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underside for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and exhaust system is essential, as the MOT only identifies rust once it has compromised structural integrity. Testing the braking system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear will ensure the lack of recorded defects reflects the actual mechanical state of the hardware.
